Our Story

Who knew our choices would lead to crossing paths,

An introduction we not knew would last.

Together through trying times and intense pressure,

Led to bond-building we could not measure.

A unique friendship got a stroke of luck,

Both forced to Texas where we got stuck.

Same new job with all the hope,

Came with stressful days—happy hour margaritas and rolling hard 8s to cope.

Friendship steering a couple years in,

An untimely but expected kiss; both our hearts grin.

Meeting family sharing hometown vibes,

Striking our hearts, feelings more alive.

Afraid to hurt we often said goodbye for good,

Knowing deep down the offer to say hello always stood.

Both living in the same city made us feel not quite alone,

Time tested love not quite known.

Always wondering of each other’s lives,

Both knowing our shared feeling still thrives.

Pulling away from a party for a new years kiss…

Who are we kidding, too many small moments here to list.

Love disclosed over a tequila night,

One year later affirmed with sake in sight.

Soaking into our relationship from afar,

These hearts forever like the endless stars.

Above is Our Story with rhymes much abridged,

What matters now: Our Love infused; Our Souls hinged.
