Poetry On Odyssey: The Cruel Reality We Call Fate

Some things are just not meant to be.

In another time or under another circumstance, it might have been.

It could have been.

But at this time and place, it's not meant to be.

We don't meet people by accident.

They cross our paths for a reason.

For whatever reason two people come together,

And care about each other more than words can express.

All they want is to be together,

And to be happy,

And to love each other.

But the universe has a different path chosen for them.

A path that leads them away from each other.

And wants them to be apart,

Not together.

And it doesn't allow them to be together.


Fate doesn't ask you what you want,

But it knows what is best for you.

Even if you don't.

It's cruel.

It's harsh.

It hurts.

But sometimes you just have to accept it.

Accept fate.

Your fate.

His fate.

The fate of being apart.

Even though your heart wants something else.

Sometimes it's not meant to be.

It can't be.

There is no reason.

Except it's what fate wants.

Sometimes you have to accept what fate wants,

and not what you want.

Sometimes you have to step back,

And walk away.

And make fate happy.

While fate makes you sad.

With tears in your eyes and pain in your heart,

You walk away.

Slowly.

Looking back as you go,

And letting fate win.

But fate can't take away

Your memories.

Your feelings.

And all that meant something.

And it can't take away your hope.

And maybe,

If you wait long enough,

Fate could have a way of changing.

Because what is meant to be will be.

And maybe, just maybe,

Your fate could change.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
