The inscription said "destiny" 
A locket
Perfectly Intact 
Not a scratch
Inside, two of the most beautiful people to ever walk this Earth protected for all eternity 
A story carried down through time 
Mystery unresolved 

Destiny 
Destiny 
The word keeps playing in my head like a harmony on a broken record 
Over and over and over again 

What became of them 
Did fate give them permission to be together or tear them apart due to a tragedy of nature?

Did the ocean where we discovered this treasure swallow their love alive?

Their story has become an obsession 
A storyboard for the greatest romance of all time or a Shakespearean tragedy 

Destiny 
It does not judge giving good and bad equally in a twisted game of randomness 

Perhaps they are together now 
Two souls leaping through the universe with glee

Perhaps true destiny painted a different canvas 
An unexpected blend of color and texture 

Destiny the inscription said protecting a love that belongs now to the sea.  

With a toss into the windy breeze, the waves grab the locket 

It's now time to walk away
