Sense of Direction

I hadn't seen her for a while.
I used to look at her and say to myself,
"I'm going to marry that girl."
Now I know you' ve heard people relate that
same experience before--still, it seems special.

I saw her today and remembered why God
allows mankind the weakness to forget.
I also remembered what she told me
on her way out of my life.

She said,
"We started dating at such a young age,
and we dated for such
a long time--I just feel like
I haven' t allowed God
a chance to lead in my life."

I used to tell myself God had led me to her.
Looking at her today made
me remember that the primary source
for my sense of direction used to hang
much lower.

But it wasn't just her I saw today--
I saw him as well.
He looked like a
Calvin Klein advertisement clothed and come to life.

Seems God's got good taste.
Or maybe,
at some point,
we all share the
same sense of direction.
