I've gotten the opportunity to get to know an adorable couple recently... Seriously, I swear that their love story came straight out of a Nicholas Sparks' book or something sappy like that. ;)

He sailed across the sea

searching for an adventure

Though the people pulled him back

and denied him of his dream

he shook his head and sailed

sailed as far as he could see

He was left all on his own

with no one to confide in

but the compass in his mind

was all he ever desired

Seven days it would take

to reach the big ole' city

but only four it took

to reach the smaller town

He docked at the port

with no one on his mind

He avoided the eyes

of watchers around

Distractions were useless

and people were fools

Once again, all he wished for

was the deep, open sea

with him alone

and only his dreams

as companions

but, surprisingly, fate

had other plans for him

and he fell for a girl

with bright sparkling eyes

Soon, a night's stay

turned to two

and so on, so forth

and the image of the city

had vanished from his mind

Years later,

here they are

still in the very same town

with a love so strong

and a bond so tight

and all they ever want to do is sail

together
