Just A Little Longer...

From the very beginning, they were doomed. They were two souls headed down separate paths linked together by a measly, transparent thread. It could've been so easily overlooked without a second thought and neither of them would've known what they were missing.
She would've been college-bound and blindly obedient to her parents without a spine to help her stand up for herself. He would be rushing through high school, barely getting by, meanwhile openly despising his own family and seeking his escape through the military.
And to think...
Had he walked a little faster,
Had she been just a bit more shy,
Had they gone with the wrong crowds or even just picked the wrong table.
They would've never known the life-changing love that now fills every second of their days.
