What were the chances,
That we’d both come here?
To run away from the world,
To forget our past?

What were the chances,
That he could find love?
With everybody but me,
With everyone else?

What were the chances,
That I would see them?
The perfect movie moment,
The life I wanted?

What were the chances,
That she was the one?
Someone I wanted to be,
Someone I despised?

What were the chances,
That I still loved him?
That he’d forgotten ‘bout me,
That he would live on?

Really great, amazing actually. My favorite part was the running away part . You're a truly amazing poet, keep going!

this was good, I liked your parrallel structure. they made the whole thing better somehow. :D they way each stanza was set up exactly the same. And it flowed well, sounded good. My only suggestion is more imagery and details. You did a great job on the emotion, but you could use some more detail. We need more than feelings. Other than that, great job. Keep writing. :D

Hey there! This is really good! :D

Just one nitpick: You don't always have to start a new line with a capital. Only if the previous sentence ended with a fullstop, then do. If a comma, not needed.

Also, one more xD : Your flow seemed to go on really well, but it always seemed to cut of at the last line of each stanza. And that kinda killed the feeling. You might want to work on that. BUT- the last stanza was P.E.R.F.E.C.T. From the first word to the last, that paragraph was my favourite!

Also, I really like the finshing touch, the picture. I found it quite adroable, even though I'm not a romantic person.
So, yes, it was really good and quite and enjoyable peice!

Do continue writing/rhyming! I would love to hear more from you! Oh, and I hope you're enjoying YWS so far! :)

If I were to have a super power, it would be to time-travel, so that I could turn back time, and erase your very existence.
