A nickname,
the first connection.
An invisible thread
winding, unnoticed, for years,
through two different lives
Sometimes similar, but often not.
Pulling gradually tighter.
Until, as if by accident,
(though really by nothing short of celestial design)
An introduction,
a recognition,
and a beginning.
A repeated question
emerging time and again.
"Really? You too?"
A collaboration of minds and hearts.
"Me too."
