Trick of fate

Olive

I don’t believe in destiny.
I don’t believe in fate.
It would be a catastrophe
To prove me wrong to date.

Conjunctions, serendipities,
And fortune telling spells -
Exploiting people’s weaknesses
And fooling ourselves!

My set in stone principles
You blew away so quick...
So simple and invincible,
Your logic did the trick.

We missed two possibilities -
We couldn’t miss the third.
Our destiny’s ability
To show what we’ve ignored.

I do believe in destiny.
I do believe in fate.
It would be a catastrophe
To miss my soul mate.
