If It is Meant to Be

If it is meant to be,
It will be.
No point planning it.
No point forcing it.
It will be when it will be.

So do we completely step back?
Do we not try at all?
Do we not grab every opportunity?
Do we accept ourselves as puppets of fate?
Do we not fight for love?

The truth is no one knows for sure
The foolproof way to love
That lasts a lifetime
In the heart, like a flame
Which might flicker but never goes out.

But at least keep no regrets.
Don’t tie up the heart
So much that it is stifled,
With so much unsaid,
With so much unfulfilled.

But in spite of it all,
You might screw up.
In spite of your best intentions,
You might hurt the one you love.
Things might fall apart.

In those times, don’t lose heart
And especially your head.
For if it is truly right for you,
If it is meant to be,
It will be.
