Happenstance

For a second Cupid fell asleep

and fate unfolded me unto you.

For a second Time refused to move on

and in a trance we both fell in love.

For a second the world seemed perfect

and the music of love went floating.

For a second the hidden heartstrings

burst and scatter, we're inches apart.

In a swift happenstance, I found love;

Love in the midst of Cupid's slumber;

Slumber in the midst of Time's halting;

Halting in the midst of red heartstrings.

For a second then, Cupid woke up

and fate selfishly hid me from you.

For a second then, Time swiftly ticked

and the trance was hopelessly broken.

For a second then, the world seemed foul

and music was beaten by the noise.

For a second then, the heartstrings kept

and we moved on by chance and by choice.
