HAPPENSTANCE

He happened to glance to his left and he saw a vision of beauty, a rare gem
She had long black hair, eyes where you’d lose yourself once you gazed into them
She had the cutest lips and a smile that could melt your heart
Yet he was a stranger to her and that probably was the hardest part

That was the first time he saw her as she got on the train
On the third time he saw her; he decided to ask for her name
“Excuse…me miss, I…wondering if…could get…name” he said stuttering
“I’m Jessica” she said while finding him cute amidst his stammering

It all started from there; their journey on the long winding road
He would wait while she got on; she would look for him in the crowd
They would talk till she got off; they looked forward to the next meeting
Both wanted to reach the next level, but they weren’t sure what the other was thinking

“Tomorrow’s my birthday. Would you like to join me for dinner?”
“I would love to. What gift do you want?” he said almost overeager
“No gift. You being there is enough for me” she said with the utmost care
“Then look for me immediately when you get on. No matter what, I will be there”

July 21st; it was now her birthday and she wanted to tell him that she liked him a lot
She got on the train and immediately looked for his usual spot
“Where is he? Is he sick? Did something happen to him”
As each unfamiliar face met her eyes, her heart was gripped by grim

The tears were about to fall down, when someone lightly touched her arm
“Excuse me, I think you dropped this” the voice said filled with charm
She looked behind her and the tears did fall, but they were of joy not sorrow
He was holding a bouquet of flowers whose colors where bright and mellow

“Happy birthday!” he said and she hugged him fiercely
“Did I worry you?” he said as he noticed her tears flowing freely
“I wanted to surprise you. That’s why I wasn’t in my usual place”
“I’m really sorry“ he said while he wiped away the tears from her face

“Don’t be. I’m crying because I’m happy” she said in all sincerity
“I’m really happy because no one has ever done something like this for me”
“I loved you the first time I saw you” he said while looking at her eyes
“That's why I did this, to prove my intentions are pure and are not born of lies”

They became a couple that day and are still an item up to this date
It wasn’t a storybook romance after that; like any relationship there was love and hate
Yet every year he found a way to surprise her to make even their fights worthwhile
Whether it was a simple gesture or a grand gift, he never failed to make her smile
