Was she the luckiest?

Woke up just to find ‘twas a dream,
Drenched in the ecstasy of loneliness.
But he was nowhere to be found.
Tears in her eyes,
She knew she had defaulted.
Again.
How could she face them all without him?
Selfish, had she been again?
Not sure!
Opened her windows.
Desperately waiting for a  sun to dawn.
But a mirage featured,
Because  it was too good to be true.
Sitting on the curb was her man,
Her soulmate!
Scampered she to apologize,
Just to find him with his arms wide opened.
Surprised, was she the luckiest?
