Upon the cobbled, winding street,331Please respect copyright.PENANARtuVIF2mAf
Through golden dusk and autumn’s fleet,331Please respect copyright.PENANAgy70ks7qkq
A girl named Lila walked alone,331Please respect copyright.PENANAK9hiQAefZS
With wistful dreams yet still unknown.
Her heart was light, her step was free,331Please respect copyright.PENANAqVNV6Sr5s7
Until a window called to thee,331Please respect copyright.PENANAPyXfFYtZfN
A shop of relics, old and grand,331Please respect copyright.PENANA1PRP43iSfh
With tales held soft in time’s own hand.
But what she saw, she scarce believed,331Please respect copyright.PENANAZnN1qvfVw4
A painted frame—her soul deceived,331Please respect copyright.PENANASFmRIBBWuv
For staring back with lifelike grace,331Please respect copyright.PENANA0Qi7iTpl41
Was her own form, her very face.
Her breath stood still, her pulse took flight,331Please respect copyright.PENANAGlzDnKf1A4
The painted girl was bathed in light,331Please respect copyright.PENANApnxuE3Wt9K
Yet softer, fairer, lined in gold,331Please respect copyright.PENANAigU1JriBnG
A vision of herself retold.
Who made this piece? Who knew her well?331Please respect copyright.PENANAtnHqqk1sKU
Who caught her soul in painter’s spell?331Please respect copyright.PENANAbrT1oOIMdH
With fervor rich, she asked the man,331Please respect copyright.PENANAq7LYan0RVl
Who owned the shop—so old, so grand.
But shaking head and lowering gaze,331Please respect copyright.PENANAXiRG4u40H0
The keeper sighed, lost in a haze,331Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y8hOpKzh8
“This portrait here? A mystery’s thread,331Please respect copyright.PENANAydei6f9l0E
No artist named, no words were said.”
And so she left, her heart enthralled,331Please respect copyright.PENANA18bhKOD0iW
A whisper deep within her called,331Please respect copyright.PENANAwwbM2pJ5sG
She'd search and seek, she’d find the hand,331Please respect copyright.PENANAI1br4dh3mH
Who traced her soul in strokes so grand.
She asked through halls of old cafes,331Please respect copyright.PENANAWGEz5epIww
In libraries and grand displays,331Please respect copyright.PENANAES6gr5kSaI
She combed the streets, she scanned the crowd,331Please respect copyright.PENANAQfj9vIR8SX
Yet never found the one endowed.
And slowly, slowly, hope grew dim,331Please respect copyright.PENANAHz6oDEpQTS
The dream grew frail, the light fell grim,331Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1yn9ydh37
She told herself, “Perhaps it's fate,331Please respect copyright.PENANAd6dnD7TC03
A tale not meant to resonate.”
Then one fine day, in class she sat,331Please respect copyright.PENANAMVNEK3hDDs
A silent boy, a desk, a hat,331Please respect copyright.PENANAUgXYtcpZPi
She’d seen him sketch, though never known,331Please respect copyright.PENANAsYT5vQK9fP
What worlds upon his pages shone.
A fleeting glance, a quiet stare,331Please respect copyright.PENANAXOBVx31YBq
She saw his hands, the ink still there,331Please respect copyright.PENANAyEzHgmhVmt
And when he left, too lost in thought,331Please respect copyright.PENANAMtUYHuuRHS
A sketchbook from his grasp was caught.
It tumbled down, the pages fanned,331Please respect copyright.PENANACICIqqdP45
She reached, she paused—her trembling hand,331Please respect copyright.PENANA7UxnIEu3Cp
Then slowly turned the cover wide,331Please respect copyright.PENANAvpdei5Xna3
And gasped at all the art inside.
For there she was, in every pose,331Please respect copyright.PENANArZ2BMuBg5K
In gentle light, in shadowed glows,331Please respect copyright.PENANAT1ZnNSaIRb
In laughter bright, in sorrow's hue,331Please respect copyright.PENANAOn9ycyNVQn
A hundred selves in lines he drew.
She flipped and flipped, her heart so light,331Please respect copyright.PENANAlBEKCLvqh7
The brush of fate, the painter’s sight,331Please respect copyright.PENANAr45orgqVQE
A mystery solved, a question met,331Please respect copyright.PENANALWfIdNOvcK
A quiet truth in charcoal set.
And as she turned one final page,331Please respect copyright.PENANAiO9TWjFdjM
She felt a gaze both warm and sage,331Please respect copyright.PENANAbEVPZPtDLF
She lifted eyes—he stood so near,331Please respect copyright.PENANAIhzFXBW6hg
His look was shy, yet held no fear.
“You’ve found me now,” he softly spoke,331Please respect copyright.PENANAiWulSav10g
His voice like brushstrokes faintly woke,331Please respect copyright.PENANAsEducitkOr
“I never meant for you to see,331Please respect copyright.PENANASuHucy1olx
But all I draw is only thee.”
Her lips curved wide, her cheeks took flame,331Please respect copyright.PENANAs0iZwLIJBZ
Her heart now whispered his dear name,331Please respect copyright.PENANAp1wOX4G90T
The search was done, the artist known,331Please respect copyright.PENANASXUast1nn8
And yet—she'd never been alone.
For all along, through every part,331Please respect copyright.PENANAfXHS27BIpd
He’d painted her inside his heart,331Please respect copyright.PENANAfh45KuZVde
And now at last, her tale complete,331Please respect copyright.PENANAnjn3fCEAN6
Two souls had found where they should meet.
