Analysis of " Achieved By Fate"



Just another retired day
                Nothing special along the way.
               Another day with no predictions
            Clear skies above, perfect conditions.
                   Then in a flash she is gone
            That voice now sings a tearful song.
               She has parted in her selfish way
           Suddenly, she's taken my heart away.
         Crossing that line, I investigate at once
          But her response will take for months.
                   A loss so hard for me to take
               Loneliness is such a painful ache.
         Tears and emptiness now rule the day
                 Can new love ever find its way?
                  And so I shout, just let her go
                  I shall search so high and low.
                To find my one and only mate
              A soul discovered, achieved by fate.
