Just maybe

Memories whisper in the silent air

Stories laced with longing and care

We crossed paths, a twist of fate

A chance encounter, a twist of fate

Back in high school, just a boy with a dream

Nervous words, hopes unseen

Asked your father, took a leap of faith

Hoping love would find a way

But you disappeared like a bubble in the breeze

Leaving behind silent pleas

Years went by, our lives diverged

Yet in my dreams, you still emerged

Time moved on, but I stayed still

Holding on to what I feel

A decades’ memory, a gentle rain

Washes away the pain

Now we meet again by chance or fate

Looking for a reason, a way to explain

Your eyes hold stories, strong and true

Vulnerable, yet beautiful too

I see my future whenever I see you

Would you see me the way I see you?

Let’s rewrite our story, make it new

Smile again, let love break through

Every moment’s a fragile thread

Of what we might have left unsaid

If time could turn back, if dreams came true

I’d choose you anew

Here’s my heart, open and free

Waiting for your smile to see me

Whatever you’ve been through, I hope you find

A love that’s gentle, tender, kind

And maybe, just maybe, we’re meant to be

Destined by chance, love’s mystery
