If our paths crossed it's because we are headed in the same direction

If our paths crossed, it's because we're following the same course

I'd use ' following' rather than ' have', to indicate that course = 'rumo' rather than 'curso'

If our paths have had their own intersection, it is (be)cause we have had our/the same direction.

Just in case you want something more poetic still...:)

If our paths have merged it was meant to be

If our paths have merged, it was meant to be.

If our paths crossed it must be that we are headed in the same direction

We are re-inventing geometry, aren't we? Or love is. Re-inventing navigation, at any rate. Please do not apply your principle while flying, sailing or driving. It could have unpleasant consequences. Maybe you want to consider changing your moto to: Since our paths met, and it appears that we like each other so much, let us travel at the same heading and speed forever (or a couple of years, whichever feels longer). Not as poetic, though.
