A Woman's Heart Is a Deep Ocean
I lived 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 mindless with no future until I met him.
One evening he took me to a movie,
and that movie is forever meaningful to me.
The next day he gave me a blue heart-shaped pendant.
My very own heart of the sea,
I still wear it as a memory.
He believed in making each day count,
oh, our first kiss- he whispered, trust me.
I felt like I was flying,
and he said, I will never let go.
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,
promise me, you will never give up, no matter what.
I call his name a thousand times in dreams,
and our love will go on and on and on.
