Enchanted By Destiny

Everyone thinks she’s crazy, that her head’s caught in the clouds
No one knows what’s inside her, a heart that’s filled with doubt
She has a free spirit, and on her face a blissful smile
Always happy and full of joy, but what hides behind the smile?
Surely no one can be truely happy with so much pain in the world
Yet she, the one with blue eyes bright, a cheerful girl
Her smile makes even the saddest of souls see hope
A smile really can make a difference when one feels they cannot cope

The girl, her spirit free, skipped along with endless joy
But everything seemed to change, the day she met the boy
He wondered about her blissful smile and her enchanting eyes
She hardly even noticed him, and carelessly skipped by

“Excuse me” said the boy, “I really must know your name”
The girl smiled at him, just as it started to rain
Those two, they ran for cover, the girl stopping on the way
The boy watched in amazement, as she began to play

“What are you doing?” the boy yelled, he still didn’t know her name
“Are you questioning my sanity?” she laughed, “or have you never danced in the rain?”
The boy frowned in confusion, the girl than took his hand
They got drenched, but dance they did, all along the sand

The sun started to set as the waves crashed on the beach
The girl looked up at the clouds, and with her hands she reached
“What are you trying to grab?” said the boy “the sky is much too high”
“The sky is never the limit!” she said in a joyful cry

“Why are you always happy?” asked the boy in confusion “it simply cannot be done”
“Anything is possible” she laughed “loosen up and have fun!”
The girl said her name was Destiny, that she was an orphan ‘till now
The boy, whose name was Jay, asked her to explain how

Destiny told her sad story, without shedding a single tear
Her parents died in a car accident when she was small, she remembers the fear
Destiny was in the car but miraculously survived as she was in the back
Her parents weren’t so lucky, when the car veered off-track
She was put in an orphanage and has never been sad
Destiny explained how she saw no reason NOT to be glad

“The loss of your parents and no family, surely it must have hurt”
Destiny looked at Jay and said “Yes, but what is pain worth?”
Enchanted by her eyes, her words and her inspiring story
The way she fearlessly held her head high and exulted the day with glory
Jay was enchanted with Destiny, he felt drawn to her in some way
That wasn’t the last time they saw each other, they met nearly everyday

Everything seemed perfect, like nothing could possibly go wrong
Their romance blossomed, their hearts connected in some way, they seemed so strong
One thing led to another, a misunderstanding, they went off the deep end
Finally, Destiny understood pain and “broken hearts” It felt like she would never mend

Jay went to see Destiny; he regretted everything he had done
“Don’t you get it Jay?!” Destiny cried “it’s all over, you’ve won!”
“No” said Jay “I’m sorry. I can’t win if we’re not together”
With tears streaming down her face she said “there’s no such thing as forever”

Jay left and never again would he see Destiny’s beautiful smile
Her spirit, once free, was locked in her broken heart for a while
Destiny no longer skipped along, her eyes sparkling in joy
Jay was full of sadness and regret, he felt like the worst boy

They never saw each other again up until this very day
Destiny learnt what pain was, Maybe it was meant to be this way
Wherever he is, Jay remembers the good times and wishes he could rewind
He’ll always be enchanted by Destiny, another girl like her he’ll never find
