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.
