~Meant to Be~

My life was a mess

For nine long years

Nothing was going right for me.

My personal life

Was a constant drag

I wish I lived in a fantasy.


I sometimes wondered

Who really saved me

The night when I had seen the beast.

After long hours

Of couch therapy

My memories seemed to decrease.


Nine long years have passed

Since my mother's murder

And I have yet to move forward

I don't think I could

Ever truly forget

The memory and move onward.


Never did I think

I would ever meet

The one who had protected me.

You saved me again,

Despite every risk,

And shared your secret with me.


A few months have passed

Since that very day

And I can't help but think of you.

I lie to my friends

And dodge their questions

Since I'm determined to protect you.


You have saved me.

And I protect you.

This must be serendipity.

Despite the trials

I can see ahead

I know we were meant to be.
