Serendipitous

Sometimes,
your life intersects
with another's,
where the bonds between
seem to have always been,
but not known till now.
A lover from some life before?
Your unknown soulmate,
at last at your door?
Or mere chance,
bringing two together
whose souls dovetail
like puzzle pieces meant
to come together.
But then, too soon,
you two are reft,
and you are left
with questions.
Was it too late?
Too soon?
Merely a fantasy
that should never
have bloomed?
A dress rehearsal
for another life's destiny?
I may never know...
So I rage against
serendipity,
although it brought you
to me.
For it took you away,
and the place you made
in the depths of my heart
remains empty,
a wound unhealing,
bittersweet agony.
The contradictive irony
is the fact
I'd do it all over again,
knowing the end,
dancing the same steps
from one life to the next,
and I'll love you
forever.
