a tale shared to touch your heart

Have u ever heard a tale that leaves its imprint on your daily thoughts. A tale u wish to share for it be a true love story. In my environment i have had the pleasure of coming across the most interesting of people....their lives a kaleidoscope of happenings...each new tale folding into each other...tales never-ending...they seem to be an eternal story of that person and their journey in a space they have allowed themselves to settle into and be exposed to.

And there i was , the recipient of a story so touching, so endearing.
A story of paths crossed, lovers maybe not meant to be. One, where circumstance did not play fair, but rather decided that many unfinished chapters were to pass between these two people.
They be two Ordinary people. To meet in the most challenging of environments. She a lady in need of a knight in shining armour and he, never expected to be that knight, found himself lost in who she was. An unexpected turn of events that kept their hearts warm their emotions raw, their need of each other euphoric.
But time would not allow them the pleasures of unchallenged love.
Uncertainties, demands, answers sort, jealousies deep....and maybe his fault for even imagining it could be. He knew his life may not allow him to give her what she needed, yet he dared to give his heart and dared to steal hers.
And though their paths were to separate, there always was a crossroad, where they would meet again...and choices were to be made...not to travel on the same path...yet, they chose to do so.
No matter the years passed in not seeing each other, it was always like the first time for him. He had found that his love for her had not diminished. If anything, he had placed his love for her above any other he had felt or would ever feel.
But. She had passed and experienced too many new obstacles. She had not forgotten her love for him... something had burnt out....a slow flickering burn out. He was still her security blanket. He was still that beautiful place for her to go to...knowing she shouldn't, for she knew how her heart would want to shatter in a million pieces once she had seen him.
It just had to be so.
They were destined to write many chapters before their story was truly told and found its end.

I find myself lost in thoughts of these two people and honoured to be part of their tale....to be part of their tale for one of the two has taken to sharing it with me. Why? I cannot answer but, will forever be grateful.
 Thus my new love be, to hear more and pen it as best i can....and hopefully when it be told in completion to me....and the last chapter written ....u, the reader,will be around to read it and shed a sigh or two and maybe wipe away a tear, or swear from frustration, at the tale of these to people i am beginning to get to know.
It not be a simple tale.
It not be an ordinary turn of events but, it still be a tale many of us can relate to and maybe, even, see ourselves in.
