It's kind of funny the way we came to be.

At the time, I'd given hope on love,

And was certainly not looking either...

You, you were kind of roaming aimlessly

Without any specific plans in mind, but

Kids or cats were definitely not in the cards.            (I have both)

I was a right mess, things weren't going well,

But we naturally reached out to each other,

And so from Spain you flew over to Québec.

And we met in person for the first time,

Our having clicked online wasn't an illusion,

It was instant in person from the moment

We laid eyes on one another.

Can't say what it was exactly,

But we just knew then.

Twenty years later, here we are,

As loving and caring to one another.

I really don't know what I'd done

Had we not had this chance meeting

On PoetBay all those years ago.

It's funny how unlikely all of it seems,

But that's how it happened.

For eight months, we spoke online,

Then we met, we couldn't be apart.

It wasn't part of any plan and

It was completely unexpected, but

Here were are, twenty years later.

You're my love,

And I'm yours,

I'll forever be grateful

We had the chance to meet.
