Serendipity Wore Your Smile

Just coffee, laughter, borrowed time.

A passing hour, politely shared,

No omen carved in fate or rhyme.

Your eyes held ease, your voice was calm,

A gentle tide against my shore.

No thunder roared, no stars aligned,

Just comfort I’d not felt before.

You asked about the songs I love,

I told you things I never say.

The minutes slipped, the masks came off,

And quiet fears were swept away.

What started as a simple night,

Became the page I now begin.

A chapter inked in tenderness,

A love that taught me strength within.

Not all storms change a life, it seems,

Some souls arrive with softer grace.

You held a mirror to my best,

And I became my truest face.

For the one who turned a moment into a lifetime, this is for you.
