In a moment of complete clarity
The thoughts began entering his head
That she was the one
Meant for him.
He was told
At the very last moment of his life
This one woman
From 30 years ago
Was the answer
To every question he ever asked.
The dream
He wished would come true.
The hope
He held in his heart.
The desire
That would pull all of life together.
She was the reason
He would want to live.
Yet he dies today
Alone in a room
While she sits on her porch
Thousands of miles away
Thinking of how great
Her life turned out to be.
