How they fell in love: a true story

The door bell rang

she walked in

and they both

sat at the table.

They had work to do,

lots of work…

It would take several months.

 

She returned again and again

and every time she returned

he found her prettier and prettier.

She had the most beautiful face

the most delicate characteristics

and she had blue, amazing, sparkling eyes.

Her smile illuminated the whole room,

she was radiant, magically glowing.

She was stunning,

she was breathtakingly beautiful.

 

And every time she returned

he found her smarter and smarter.

She was brilliant, she was witty

she was driven, she was ambitious.

She had maturity, she had judgment,

she was spirited,

her sense of humor was as sharp as a razor. 

 

They exchanged numerous

business messages every day

day after day, after day…

 

And then one fine sunny day,

a day that fate brought,

the business message

she sent was different.

It was very different…

The message contained a line about

how beautiful the moon would be that night.

He replied about the beauty of the moon

and pretty soon

one thing led to another and

the business messages had turned

into passionate romantic exchanges.

 

He wrote her a beautiful poem.

He said how he had travelled all his life

searching in vain for his true love

only to finally find true love and care in her.

She immediately replied marveling at his poem.

She had tears in her eyes…

She said she had also travelled all her life

only to find her true love in him.

 

In each other they finally found love, care,

friendship, trust and support.

But most of all they discovered that they shared

the most beautiful, pure romantic sensitivities...

 

They had developed

 a unique love relationship

only for them to share…

Only the magic hand of fate

could separate them from now on…
