Serendipity

serendipity

one night a star exploded

and it split right in to two

and each part became a person

one was me and one was you

we shimmered down to Earth

and lived our individual lives

but one day serendipity

decided we'd collide

your face felt so familiar

and every time you spoke

it sounded like a harmony

a song I'd always known

it was like you were an ocean

that I wanted to explore

but the waves I surfed, the depths I swam

I felt I'd swum before

it was just like I knew nothing

and yet everything as well

as if me getting to know you

helped me get to know myself

I think the universe intended

and had planned it all along

to return me to your ocean

to your face and to your song

see, it's not that you completed me

for I was never half

but it seems like the stardust in our souls

could not be kept apart
