This Conversation

Somewhere, a moment in time, someone’s thinking of you,
Wondering how life would be without your existence,
Who would then listen to my breakdowns and breakthroughs?
Who would I share my sadness and happiness with... if not you?

Life somehow seems to work in mysterious ways
What could have brought us here in this time and space?
Perhaps it’s true what people say,
When the student is ready, the master will appear.

I was living a life, disillusioned and unexamined
Lying and cheating myself of who I wanted to be,
You have coached me to look beyond all that
I’ve finally found the freedom to be who I am – my true self!

Though I know this too will come to pass
Like everything else in life,
I am cherishing the conversations we still have now
For they have deeply impacted my life.

When life no longer exists for you and me
This conversation will echo on and transcend time,
For you have made a difference in my life
And I will remember you until the day I return to dust…
