The First Encounter in Reality

She entered the saloon 

Of a nearby town 

And there she was, standing on stage

In an evening gown 

No one had ever made her feel that way 

Stunned, speechless, unable to say 

Even one line or one word or one sign 

Chechi was frozen in the even's-light shine

Charlotte a-seemed to feel just the same 

Unable to move, like flyin' in a dream 

She merely stared at the indian girl 

Who didn't seem t'be so much of girl at all

Her red hair! Her black hair! 

Her green eyes! Her dark eyes! 

Her freckles! Her majestic flair! 

She must have attracted so many guys!

The two women could not help 

But stare at each other, silently gasp 

For air, stunned by the beauty 

Of the other, forgetting their duty.

"What are you doing? 

 Charlotte, go on!" 

Yelled the owner of the saloon

But the young woman did not even hear 

As she walked down the stage she felt no fear 

She knew it was right to leave this place 

To find a new life, find her own inner face 

Her personality, her strength, 

Her own love, and, too, her own will 

No forces, no one telling her what to do 

"My freedom, it will be with you" 

Chechi Nikash smiled at that 

She knew her now, and knew her good 

She did not even know her long 

But what she saw, it made her strong

She knew Charlotte would be her companion 

Her friend, her love, they would never abandon 

Each other. 

 They would stay together

Their short encounter was enough to make sure 

That they would never separate or go 

No leaving, no hating 

No anger or madness 

Just loving and staying 

And cease all their sadness

They left the town together and knew 

The good days for them would come

 And not only a few.
