Happenstance

For a second Cupid fell asleep
and fate unfolded me unto you.
For a second Time refused to move on
and in a trance we both fell in love.
For a second the world seemed perfect
and the music of love went floating.
For a second the hidden heartstrings
burst and scatter, we're inches apart.

In a swift happenstance, I found love;
Love in the midst of Cupid's slumber;
Slumber in the midst of Time's haulting;
Haulting in the midst of red heartstrings.

For a second then, Cupid woke up
and fate selfishly hid me from you.
For a second then, Time swiftly ticked
and the trance was hopelessly broken.
For a second then, the world seemed foul
and music was beaten by the noise.
For a second then, the heartstrings kept
and we moved on by chance and by choice.
