Boy meets girl, sparks are flying,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Got to know one another, then eventually coupling,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Declarations of love they\u2019re soon exchanging, from here should be smooth sailing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Life had other plans, the road to happily ever fraught with obstacles,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Least of all the doubters, thought blood was thicker than water,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How does love become so threatening? It ain\u2019t anybody\u2019s business,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Circumstances also played a part, oftentimes keeping \u2018em separated,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For months or years at a time, for many would have been a deal-breaker,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can only maintain long-distance for so long, one half may give in to temptation,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A true test of commitment, would they be up for it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love, it\u2019s the key ingredient, the ties that bind,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So long as it\u2019s strong ain\u2019t nothing can go wrong,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that\u2019s what they\u2019re leaning on to weather these storms,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still keeping the fire burning, making time for one another,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doubters close to home trying, cajoling, even threatening, somehow feel they know better, his shoes they\u2019re forcibly wearing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While she\u2019s soldiering on and supporting, putting them on a hiding to nothing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when paths diverge, day after day they show up for one another, technology done made the world smaller, can get some face time despite living in opposite corners,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The story of the past five years, that loved-up fa\u00e7ade hiding snags, frustrations and tears,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the foundation remains unaffected, you could say that these two are built different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soon it\u2019s time to make it official, boy asks for his best girl\u2019s hand in marriage,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No more living in separate quarters, a shared space now for happy spouses,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time and space can\u2019t separate \u2018em, to hell with detractors, can\u2019t achieve goals without healthy doses of defiance, makes the victory that much sweeter,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All but made believers out of doubters, no more opposing time zones, gonna take on the world together from now and forevermore,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Passed all the tests, now here\u2019s the reward,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time to take on the world together, maybe have y\u2019all some little rascals,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s your reward for sticking it out in the face of adversity,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was written in the stars, a happy ending was always your destiny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
