Chance..

A sullen glance and a worried face,
She knew it was time to declare her fate,
The men came silently and knocked on her door,
The wind was blowing with a gusty flow,
She felt her heart skip a beat,
as she saw her life so bleak,
She knew he was hurt, probably gone,
The void in her heart already strong,
The man who she had now grown to love lay miles away,
Though she knew she shouldn't think of him this way,
He had been there during those long periods of loneliness,
He had loved her like her first love never did,
But still he was not her husband,
and she knew the sacrifice her man gave to the nation,
She was determined to give her love for that man,
Since he was fighting with hopes and love in the main lands,
She came back to where these men now stood,
At her door porch they solemly stood,
"Your husband, they said has called for you,
He wants to be with you,
She felt a calm, peaceful breeze flow through her mind,
They had not spoken the worst truth,
Instead in their words a redemption she found,
She smiled and asked them to wait a while,
She packed in a few things while she pondered a bit,
about the very chance she got to live,
Now, she could love her first love and heart,
as for once he called her his sweetheart,
She now remembered his tenderness and care,
and she knew that she had to bear,
a thousand hardships that came her way,
for this very moment when she could stay,
in the arms of the man who loved her a lot,
and forever remain his wife throughout.
