The everlasting bond

It was not there in shared experiences,

We grew up years apart.

It was not there in similar places,

We lived miles apart.

I didn’t find it in journeys together,

We were not birds of similar feather.

I didn’t find it in songs we heard,

Neither in the stories shared.

Then I stopped looking for it,

And found it in my heart.

There was no reason for our bond,

Maybe that’s why it is so strong.
