Upon the cobbled, winding street,564Please respect copyright.PENANAU0p43ll7o6
Through golden dusk and autumn’s fleet,564Please respect copyright.PENANAMnXOR4Kkk5
A girl named Lila walked alone,564Please respect copyright.PENANAmDhzybHPRn
With wistful dreams yet still unknown.
Her heart was light, her step was free,564Please respect copyright.PENANAptn3uekzkW
Until a window called to thee,564Please respect copyright.PENANAzB1ZBDo9nq
A shop of relics, old and grand,564Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0Vhh7PDj0
With tales held soft in time’s own hand.
But what she saw, she scarce believed,564Please respect copyright.PENANAgayVKDxKLy
A painted frame—her soul deceived,564Please respect copyright.PENANAv2J2raGxkQ
For staring back with lifelike grace,564Please respect copyright.PENANAJM4jEIRqF5
Was her own form, her very face.
Her breath stood still, her pulse took flight,564Please respect copyright.PENANAUCKn5YuGZD
The painted girl was bathed in light,564Please respect copyright.PENANAANJniwdVOY
Yet softer, fairer, lined in gold,564Please respect copyright.PENANAaGV6CxHXKm
A vision of herself retold.
Who made this piece? Who knew her well?564Please respect copyright.PENANA3Yzyi52xuh
Who caught her soul in painter’s spell?564Please respect copyright.PENANAqfghlVaHiX
With fervor rich, she asked the man,564Please respect copyright.PENANAz4pjMz9A3F
Who owned the shop—so old, so grand.
But shaking head and lowering gaze,564Please respect copyright.PENANAHkjFejaNEW
The keeper sighed, lost in a haze,564Please respect copyright.PENANAO7YHv0ye1z
“This portrait here? A mystery’s thread,564Please respect copyright.PENANAKDzy0q5olX
No artist named, no words were said.”
And so she left, her heart enthralled,564Please respect copyright.PENANABQ0MeUTbR6
A whisper deep within her called,564Please respect copyright.PENANAExLIwbwKjY
She'd search and seek, she’d find the hand,564Please respect copyright.PENANAMn2hSUqKit
Who traced her soul in strokes so grand.
She asked through halls of old cafes,564Please respect copyright.PENANAusLxD6yrnG
In libraries and grand displays,564Please respect copyright.PENANARg6JXMNv1S
She combed the streets, she scanned the crowd,564Please respect copyright.PENANAuPjpBuyKYZ
Yet never found the one endowed.
And slowly, slowly, hope grew dim,564Please respect copyright.PENANAD9go0u3UOO
The dream grew frail, the light fell grim,564Please respect copyright.PENANA2w33DuCLme
She told herself, “Perhaps it's fate,564Please respect copyright.PENANA5CNZkhiXDe
A tale not meant to resonate.”
Then one fine day, in class she sat,564Please respect copyright.PENANAoVxRU6BUM0
A silent boy, a desk, a hat,564Please respect copyright.PENANAoJpo7nNMB5
She’d seen him sketch, though never known,564Please respect copyright.PENANAsDoYGIezvF
What worlds upon his pages shone.
A fleeting glance, a quiet stare,564Please respect copyright.PENANAWxSu4tQkB8
She saw his hands, the ink still there,564Please respect copyright.PENANAkQedURJhw7
And when he left, too lost in thought,564Please respect copyright.PENANAFcKv5MKlRr
A sketchbook from his grasp was caught.
It tumbled down, the pages fanned,564Please respect copyright.PENANA95sfi2nQQM
She reached, she paused—her trembling hand,564Please respect copyright.PENANAcG8tTmkNaD
Then slowly turned the cover wide,564Please respect copyright.PENANAwkvUMQIhZP
And gasped at all the art inside.
For there she was, in every pose,564Please respect copyright.PENANAPbLExRQU7p
In gentle light, in shadowed glows,564Please respect copyright.PENANAYXiq4tL7bb
In laughter bright, in sorrow's hue,564Please respect copyright.PENANAv3JTwq25Dg
A hundred selves in lines he drew.
She flipped and flipped, her heart so light,564Please respect copyright.PENANA9KMqoSxXXI
The brush of fate, the painter’s sight,564Please respect copyright.PENANAHs0XGE38Q1
A mystery solved, a question met,564Please respect copyright.PENANAVGLKd3qtPJ
A quiet truth in charcoal set.
And as she turned one final page,564Please respect copyright.PENANAkrPqFyi5qr
She felt a gaze both warm and sage,564Please respect copyright.PENANAiW34CmHdDE
She lifted eyes—he stood so near,564Please respect copyright.PENANA5P2UMKdP6v
His look was shy, yet held no fear.
“You’ve found me now,” he softly spoke,564Please respect copyright.PENANAT5FloQrrWa
His voice like brushstrokes faintly woke,564Please respect copyright.PENANAjGCkXDxglU
“I never meant for you to see,564Please respect copyright.PENANAwzKlhz1ZFh
But all I draw is only thee.”
Her lips curved wide, her cheeks took flame,564Please respect copyright.PENANA25DSuzUAx3
Her heart now whispered his dear name,564Please respect copyright.PENANASSXgNWcTQ6
The search was done, the artist known,564Please respect copyright.PENANACjBwFDpZtX
And yet—she'd never been alone.
For all along, through every part,564Please respect copyright.PENANAnqGvZFIAj7
He’d painted her inside his heart,564Please respect copyright.PENANAmLZ1jYIDWS
And now at last, her tale complete,564Please respect copyright.PENANAX0S3byzDcD
Two souls had found where they should meet.
