Chance Encounter
Let me tell you a story of a chance encounter . . .
I was in a true Romeo and Juliet experience,
meeting my love at the art gallery one winter day.
I loved art and writing poetry,
he liked to draw pictures.
My family was considered poor,
he was educated, rich, a traveler of the world.
My life was meandering with no future until I met him.
One evening he took me to the movie Titanic,
and that movie is forever meaningful to me.
The next day he gave me a heart-shaped pendant,
and I treasure it still today,
I wear it as a memory.
He believed in living in the moment,
oh, with our first kiss- he whispered, trust me.
I felt like I was a bird fluttering,
and he said, hold tight we are flying.
Then, one winter day he crashed his car through ice,
a thousand knife's stab my heart forever and ever.
If he could talk to me,
in that dying breath- he would say,
I promise you that I will be waiting at heavens gate.
I call his name a thousand times in dreams,
and our love will go on for love never dies.
It was just a chance encounter that became true love.
