so, here I am again
right where I should have been
where I was
when I wasn’t where I ought to be

for the first time
I’m not sure where I haven’t been
when I wasn’t
who I should be when they weren’t

now, the last time
I was where I am to be
who I have been
where I thought I couldn’t have

but, if I wasn’t there
I couldn’t have even been
why that was
                    because if I was where
                    I should have been
                    and not where I was
                    I would have never
                    possibly been here
                    and then, I would have
                                                    never
                                                              met
                                                                      you

In the right place at the right time huh Sven? Good one. Chris

All the journeying was worth the haul, if you come out of it with one special friend, or special love.....
And I must add I love the happy endings most too....
