Part Three: Fate
It's been two years since she left. Two years since she walked out .. And almost eighteen months since you finally opened your eyes. You opened your eyes, and saw me standing there. You were in pain that day, I could tell .. Hell anyone could plainly see it. Her leaving you, was unexpected, but it all works out for the best doesn't it? Otherwise, we wouldn't be together now.
Funny, how things work. I'm tempted to call it fate.
I know you still think about her, I'm pretty sure you still love her. I can't say I'm completely okay with that- but you're with me and that's all that matters. We're together and we're happy.
Maybe it is fate..
Or maybe I'm just lucky. Lucky that you noticed me, lucky that I happened to walk into that bar that night. Lucky that, I happened to be the first person you started talking to. But, I wouldn't write it off to just luck. Luck didn't bring us completely together, after all.
So, maybe it is fate.
I remember how sad you looked, how lost you looked- how unlike yourself you looked. I wanted to hold you, comfort you, help you .. Sometimes I wanted to slap some sense into you. But you needed your time, so I gave it to you. I stood by your side, watched you from the shadows -like I always have- waited until the time was right. But you never knew that did you? You never realized I was always there, that all you had to do was open your eyes and see. See that someone was there, who could love you. Love you like you deserve to be loved.
Is it really fate?
I was surprised when you asked me out, surprised when you kissed me. Surprised when you asked me to marry you. Part of me realizes, you'll never get over her. But, I know you are. I know you finally see me, and not her. I know you finally realize who you're with. I know you see me .. Not her. I know you love me- you tell me every night. Did you ever tell her that? Did she ever tell you that? I could see it in her eyes, she did love you .. I know you loved her.. I honestly thought you were meant to be.. But now, I see things differently.. So was it just dumb luck? Or fate that brought us together? I'll never know for sure.. But for now?
I'm going to say it was fate.
