Upon the cobbled, winding street,242Please respect copyright.PENANAQdYy4ciBHp
Through golden dusk and autumn’s fleet,242Please respect copyright.PENANAlggRExCqXl
A girl named Lila walked alone,242Please respect copyright.PENANA4LwDTJ8ROR
With wistful dreams yet still unknown.
Her heart was light, her step was free,242Please respect copyright.PENANAKQzzuLfFfL
Until a window called to thee,242Please respect copyright.PENANAqSaY5iuADr
A shop of relics, old and grand,242Please respect copyright.PENANALaWi0cXMq9
With tales held soft in time’s own hand.
But what she saw, she scarce believed,242Please respect copyright.PENANAY7bZHGoa4A
A painted frame—her soul deceived,242Please respect copyright.PENANAHBcIx35kvW
For staring back with lifelike grace,242Please respect copyright.PENANAwLKROjPXgh
Was her own form, her very face.
Her breath stood still, her pulse took flight,242Please respect copyright.PENANATnznVU6izf
The painted girl was bathed in light,242Please respect copyright.PENANAWRop6HMVHO
Yet softer, fairer, lined in gold,242Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6iRFVkVEZ
A vision of herself retold.
Who made this piece? Who knew her well?242Please respect copyright.PENANAYUeNTKqXAr
Who caught her soul in painter’s spell?242Please respect copyright.PENANAOIvakA7Qbp
With fervor rich, she asked the man,242Please respect copyright.PENANAW5WY64R7dz
Who owned the shop—so old, so grand.
But shaking head and lowering gaze,242Please respect copyright.PENANAfA8phRRkAY
The keeper sighed, lost in a haze,242Please respect copyright.PENANAa9W2m89PtD
“This portrait here? A mystery’s thread,242Please respect copyright.PENANAXofvXDobR8
No artist named, no words were said.”
And so she left, her heart enthralled,242Please respect copyright.PENANAA3J1XCDamA
A whisper deep within her called,242Please respect copyright.PENANA6wY4ZWzaLk
She'd search and seek, she’d find the hand,242Please respect copyright.PENANA0X294p9Lfq
Who traced her soul in strokes so grand.
She asked through halls of old cafes,242Please respect copyright.PENANAtGQbInVHfj
In libraries and grand displays,242Please respect copyright.PENANAjOOjFIapNx
She combed the streets, she scanned the crowd,242Please respect copyright.PENANAWLqMUkQPYj
Yet never found the one endowed.
And slowly, slowly, hope grew dim,242Please respect copyright.PENANAU0JZ6bg69V
The dream grew frail, the light fell grim,242Please respect copyright.PENANA2eplj0K515
She told herself, “Perhaps it's fate,242Please respect copyright.PENANArvTy0C8b9n
A tale not meant to resonate.”
Then one fine day, in class she sat,242Please respect copyright.PENANAGm27oV5yU8
A silent boy, a desk, a hat,242Please respect copyright.PENANADn2dXTLhKy
She’d seen him sketch, though never known,242Please respect copyright.PENANA3LSloKy53N
What worlds upon his pages shone.
A fleeting glance, a quiet stare,242Please respect copyright.PENANAWO4QFZxwLe
She saw his hands, the ink still there,242Please respect copyright.PENANADh39WwXfdw
And when he left, too lost in thought,242Please respect copyright.PENANAkWkrbaQ9oP
A sketchbook from his grasp was caught.
It tumbled down, the pages fanned,242Please respect copyright.PENANAEzqLJ5Bnke
She reached, she paused—her trembling hand,242Please respect copyright.PENANADUlrZu2Xyh
Then slowly turned the cover wide,242Please respect copyright.PENANALIyPAOQ5Nc
And gasped at all the art inside.
For there she was, in every pose,242Please respect copyright.PENANAhIcwza9tLc
In gentle light, in shadowed glows,242Please respect copyright.PENANAk6OlniIZSQ
In laughter bright, in sorrow's hue,242Please respect copyright.PENANAvh6DH36Ec4
A hundred selves in lines he drew.
She flipped and flipped, her heart so light,242Please respect copyright.PENANA6GvnOyYdSg
The brush of fate, the painter’s sight,242Please respect copyright.PENANAi7JXHALYks
A mystery solved, a question met,242Please respect copyright.PENANACHGAyhJrsK
A quiet truth in charcoal set.
And as she turned one final page,242Please respect copyright.PENANAyPHNdE1T8Q
She felt a gaze both warm and sage,242Please respect copyright.PENANAnYGNT3Lk1G
She lifted eyes—he stood so near,242Please respect copyright.PENANAYDU9k4Zeo2
His look was shy, yet held no fear.
“You’ve found me now,” he softly spoke,242Please respect copyright.PENANAQMkNq7kDAw
His voice like brushstrokes faintly woke,242Please respect copyright.PENANAFw9kbUosnN
“I never meant for you to see,242Please respect copyright.PENANA8kfS246BvR
But all I draw is only thee.”
Her lips curved wide, her cheeks took flame,242Please respect copyright.PENANA1pOZbPTgR5
Her heart now whispered his dear name,242Please respect copyright.PENANATarVrFclIh
The search was done, the artist known,242Please respect copyright.PENANApWEFSgJIFc
And yet—she'd never been alone.
For all along, through every part,242Please respect copyright.PENANAqIARsIuXQZ
He’d painted her inside his heart,242Please respect copyright.PENANAX629C1e6Ij
And now at last, her tale complete,242Please respect copyright.PENANAAZLjU40Fmf
Two souls had found where they should meet.
