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.
