In youth's embrace, love was a simple stream,
Flowing from hearts tender, pure, and green.
Childish whims and softness intertwined,
In the same river, our dreams confined.
We swam with laughter, our spirits light,
But the river's end, vast ocean in sight,
Endless in breadth, its depths unknown,
We drifted apart, into the vastness thrown.
Origins forgotten, the source the same,
In the ocean's arms, we played a different game.
It matters not where the journey began,
For the sea has cycles, part of a grander plan.
Scattered souls, by currents swept,
In the dance of waves, secrets adept.
Yet the ocean's cycle, mysterious and vast,
Can bring together what was once the past.
No belief in destiny, only science I heed,
But what if science is the destiny we need?
