Odd Couple

There is someone for everyone
or so it seems.
I see it all the time.
I look at the odd couples
and wonder;
what drew them together?
Was it fate?
Was it lack of choice?
Is it the potential they see?
They are seemingly happy,
certainly more than me.
They have something I covet.
Something I long for.
I hope it is yet to be for me.
I don't look down upon them.
I actually stand in awe.
For in their mismatched coupledom,
they have achieved;
something that eludes me,

something that inspire me,
something that gives me hope.
That the same thing may
one day happen to me.
