it all started with a dragonfly.

the wings of the dragonfly,

were holding my future. 

I didn't know it yet,

but this tiny insect,

was the biggest thing to ever happen to me.

The stupid insect,

landed right in front of her.

She tried to avoid it,

best she could,

but she took a wrong step,

and tripped over the own foot.

I caught her before,

she could hit the ground.

one look at one an other,

and i was spellbound.

She was the most beautiful girl,

i'd ever seen,

if i had known what she was going to become,

i would have bowed to my future queen.

She smiled at me,

and made my heart flip around,

"thank you." she whispered. 

and i,

the ideot i was,

just stared.

I was astounded by her beatie,

that way the sun hit her hair,

her eyes filled with kindness,

i think that's was held me there.

After meer seconds,

that felt like days,

i was able to ask,

if she was ok.

She smiled again and said yes, thanks to me.

What i've always wanted to know,

did she know that she made my heart,

do a 360?

Still staring in wonder,

i hardly noticed the dragonfly,

untill it landed on her shoulder.

she looked at it and smiled yet again,

that smile was burning a hole in me.

And yet again if i had known what i know today,

i would have thanked that dragonfly emencly. 

When i asked her, her name,

she looked at me.

The name that i heard,

was rather uniqe.

'If i had known that later that night,

that name would haunt me,

i would have asked it anyway,

for it was unique as she.

She promied that we would meet again,

the next time properly,

she then asked me my name,

and i relized i'd been thinking nothing at all.

It took me a second,

to remember my title,

but when i finaly sputtered it out. 

She wrote down her number for me.

I remember the sorrow,

i felt when she left me,

i remember wanting to call her,

the second i could no longer see her.

Her name haunted me,

as it would forevermore.

The name that i changed,

only a few years after she met me.

i didn't change the first part,

only the last.

If I had known then,

of what i now know,

i swear to you that I,

would never had let her go.

Because if i had known then,

that she was to be mine,

and I hers,

i would have started our life, 

right there with the dragonfly.

I never have been annoyed with dragonflies,

for i relize now,

that those mystical little incects,

Can carry a mans entire future on those tiny fradgile wings.

that a dragonfly,

may lead a man to his queen.
