Love Poem: The Chance

The Chance

What if I die tomorrow?
And never get the chance
To find my one true love
And have that one romance

What if that special someone 
Is waiting patiently 
But since I’m no longer here
He will never have met me

As little girls we dream
Of how our prince will come
And sweep us of our feet
Now, that thought seems dumb

For if there’s no tomorrow
If nothing lies ahead for me
I’ll never have experienced
Our true love meant to be

But what if I stay here
On Earth for a long while
And he’s the one who passes on
I’ll never see his smile

I try not to think 
Of how I may not see
The way we would’ve been
How he could’ve loved me

Some don’t know how I feel
They’ve always had “The One”
They’ve shared in precious moments
They’re worries, they had none

I know he’s out there somewhere
I just pray that he stays safe
But until the moment we meet
I’ll just have to have faith

I just want to see his face
And know that he cared
I want us to love each other
In the little time we might have shared

Who knows where he’s at?
We could have already met
But what if I die tomorrow?
The Chance I’ll never get.
