Why Did Life Turn Out The Way It Did Poem by Rae Seagull

Why did life turn out the way it did
Why did we make the choices that we did
Why did I stop calling you when I did
Why didn't you seek me harder when you did
Why did we drift apart
Why couldn't we have stayed together
While travelling on our parallel life paths
Why didn't our tracks cross again until now?

We spent long years of separation
And then unexpectedly met again
The reconnection made almost effortlessly
Just the click of a mouse
A light tap with a forefinger
That's all that was needed
To bring us together
And come together we did
