Part 2 - A short journey

.. a continuation from Testing the waters

And so they sailed, each on their own raft
travelling together, but destinations apart

Never a day went by when they didn't exchange a word
an email here, a message there, the distances blurred

Where would this journey take them, they knew not
Enjoying their today , oblivious to what tomorrow brought

But tomorrow did come, the way of life as we all know
bringing the unexpected and yet familiar blow

Brat saw his stop approaching, in the nearing horizon
parents back home had arranged for a special someone

Was it destiny, he searched for a reason
she smiled from a distance, changes are certain

Did she feel the same as he, he never did know
What her true feelings were, she never did show

And through the clouds of doubt, he saw the clear skies
With an open mind and clear heart, he stepped ashore to new ties

The agreement was mutual, and an engagement followed
His future mate by his side, he stepped forward on a new road
