Coincidence, Written 10/2/14 (Sonnet)

Coincidence, Written 10/2/14

“There is no such thing as coincidence”,
I say again, as if to make you smile.
But it is more to boost my confidence

As I've not felt this sense in quite a while.

Yet still although I doubt myself so much

Even my strongest defences will start

to disintegrate underneath your touch

as if you trace the rhythm of my heart.

With dancing fingers, you set my fear free

loosing a light long sentenced to exile.

Each time we find new similarity,

Laughing, we turn and lock eyes with a smile.

And in that gaze you say with out pretence

“There is no such thing as coincidence.”
