Perhaps

Perhaps

Perhaps I always knew I must love you
Before I gave my heart to you to hold.
It’s true the recognition is quite new,
But maybe the connection’s very old.
Perhaps your soul and mine, when time began,
Were bonded in some way we do not know,
And it was part of an eternal plan
That you and I should love each other so.
Perhaps there was a reason that we met,
Our souls united by decree of fate,
An ancient covenant we can’t forget,
Although remembrance came to us so late.

Perhaps it’s not important when or how.
What matters is I know I love you now.
