Fate

 
your husband is just around the corner I heard God say
I went to stay at a coed halfway house in my twenties
a little off course in my life so I had need for shelter
the day I met my husband I had been told a new man was coming to stay
there was nothing new about this event  
it was the nature of the house for people to come and go
 
still I remember the day, I waited eagerly for the new face
when I met him I thought to myself being a thick girl
I could break him in two
he looked like a blue eyed Freddy Mercury
he was so handsome
he had a southern drawal and was from Texas
 
I introduced myself
and in a flirtatious manner asked him his take on women
he wasn't interested
 
time passed and we became friends
pursuing different interests there was no romance between us
only attraction and an aching need for sex
 
later I went on to get my own house but something was missing
I missed my friend but we weren't talking anymore
he had moved on with another woman
 
again God told me we would be together
I remember telling God I would like to see that happen
we aren't even chatting anymore
 
one day I went to the halfway house to visit that lady of the home
she in a nostalgic way said we were so cute together
I told her grandma we're not together
I think she was a little senile  
 
still she took my number and gave it to him later
it was fate that placed us together
I had to settle my past affairs before I could move onto my future with him
 
kismet smiled on us and the rest is history  
we are together twenty five years now
