What a Wonder

The drives, the songs
The merging of lives
It's slow, almost unnoticeable
Until it hits with full force

Who might I be without them?
You ask yourself
Seeing pieces of a single person
Scattered in every nook and cranny
Anywhere you look or think
The residue of a real life venn-diagram
The evidence of two lives, slowly entwining

It seems so small
And then all the sudden it takes up all the space
Just a breath
And then your entire lung capacity

You want to see them
Hear them
Watch them move and express
Understand the parts of them they keep hidden
The little fractures in their life
Each tiny and almost insignificant facet
Though really, not tiny or insignificant

What a wonder it is
To become so close
To someone whom you would never have imagined
Someone who, without influence from God or fate
Would cease to exist in your stratosphere

Oh what a wonder
The wanderings of life
Who's paths we cross one day
And lives merge the next
