star-crossed in one word at a time

how could I have known
when the naivety of youth triumphs over the reality of life
when we unknowingly spent more time together
recognizing each other habits
learning and sharing the secrets we often kept to ourself
the dreams we often envisioned
the surreal places we always talked about
through the late night drive that almost reaches the border
how could i have not known
when at every intersection
i chose to ignore what will ensue
when our eyes interlocked
our fingers intertwined
our heartbeats synced
when hope was all it took for me to carry everything inside
when it is happening as it was written
well, happened to be exact
