Upon the cobbled, winding street,360Please respect copyright.PENANA7NijgKaIAs
Through golden dusk and autumn’s fleet,360Please respect copyright.PENANA5kLO9unryv
A girl named Lila walked alone,360Please respect copyright.PENANA5d7jdwOq7Y
With wistful dreams yet still unknown.
Her heart was light, her step was free,360Please respect copyright.PENANAJi1kNXHxhI
Until a window called to thee,360Please respect copyright.PENANAnZ9Tk0Faci
A shop of relics, old and grand,360Please respect copyright.PENANAW5vNHd2oTI
With tales held soft in time’s own hand.
But what she saw, she scarce believed,360Please respect copyright.PENANAE5K7o2Gyy7
A painted frame—her soul deceived,360Please respect copyright.PENANASzNFzsQdlJ
For staring back with lifelike grace,360Please respect copyright.PENANAGsFXSODHud
Was her own form, her very face.
Her breath stood still, her pulse took flight,360Please respect copyright.PENANAyHB7BZx1xi
The painted girl was bathed in light,360Please respect copyright.PENANAe0KAfsVLA0
Yet softer, fairer, lined in gold,360Please respect copyright.PENANASwlLokpvtt
A vision of herself retold.
Who made this piece? Who knew her well?360Please respect copyright.PENANANfXrD0SpuS
Who caught her soul in painter’s spell?360Please respect copyright.PENANAgumclraoW9
With fervor rich, she asked the man,360Please respect copyright.PENANAkLKqfhT6cL
Who owned the shop—so old, so grand.
But shaking head and lowering gaze,360Please respect copyright.PENANA1cs7Nm8TMs
The keeper sighed, lost in a haze,360Please respect copyright.PENANAgRPdW01D2H
“This portrait here? A mystery’s thread,360Please respect copyright.PENANADCgCDAaMPZ
No artist named, no words were said.”
And so she left, her heart enthralled,360Please respect copyright.PENANA71ByY9VFvr
A whisper deep within her called,360Please respect copyright.PENANASquY6rYAUz
She'd search and seek, she’d find the hand,360Please respect copyright.PENANAhe63UKgXFM
Who traced her soul in strokes so grand.
She asked through halls of old cafes,360Please respect copyright.PENANAjZoXtRg5kk
In libraries and grand displays,360Please respect copyright.PENANAuhkwE3lQCy
She combed the streets, she scanned the crowd,360Please respect copyright.PENANAK753IoZwav
Yet never found the one endowed.
And slowly, slowly, hope grew dim,360Please respect copyright.PENANAtOMCEmxAgG
The dream grew frail, the light fell grim,360Please respect copyright.PENANA1qK6Pkq26U
She told herself, “Perhaps it's fate,360Please respect copyright.PENANArUfj7oxuIw
A tale not meant to resonate.”
Then one fine day, in class she sat,360Please respect copyright.PENANA3vuQt0oidz
A silent boy, a desk, a hat,360Please respect copyright.PENANAUpTSU0wmjN
She’d seen him sketch, though never known,360Please respect copyright.PENANAHBdc0tf5jS
What worlds upon his pages shone.
A fleeting glance, a quiet stare,360Please respect copyright.PENANAF2wemfxfNz
She saw his hands, the ink still there,360Please respect copyright.PENANAQWP3JuU0vm
And when he left, too lost in thought,360Please respect copyright.PENANAGyENklLDKR
A sketchbook from his grasp was caught.
It tumbled down, the pages fanned,360Please respect copyright.PENANAwfqMe1HAeC
She reached, she paused—her trembling hand,360Please respect copyright.PENANAd0U8Y9BKgO
Then slowly turned the cover wide,360Please respect copyright.PENANAqItj9kYctl
And gasped at all the art inside.
For there she was, in every pose,360Please respect copyright.PENANAfO5osgYkAK
In gentle light, in shadowed glows,360Please respect copyright.PENANA3lHd72NEIu
In laughter bright, in sorrow's hue,360Please respect copyright.PENANAk4hJ4Pcwwp
A hundred selves in lines he drew.
She flipped and flipped, her heart so light,360Please respect copyright.PENANAqgIpmJq4Vu
The brush of fate, the painter’s sight,360Please respect copyright.PENANA9ICAgSiWFC
A mystery solved, a question met,360Please respect copyright.PENANA9g3KwzYCGV
A quiet truth in charcoal set.
And as she turned one final page,360Please respect copyright.PENANAdbM6XyJyuV
She felt a gaze both warm and sage,360Please respect copyright.PENANAf3oPHHkpHw
She lifted eyes—he stood so near,360Please respect copyright.PENANATbPgs0vpvF
His look was shy, yet held no fear.
“You’ve found me now,” he softly spoke,360Please respect copyright.PENANAOCuoCCAKLj
His voice like brushstrokes faintly woke,360Please respect copyright.PENANAuDunHHHBGc
“I never meant for you to see,360Please respect copyright.PENANAk8rgsD1xSb
But all I draw is only thee.”
Her lips curved wide, her cheeks took flame,360Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2q2dmJICx
Her heart now whispered his dear name,360Please respect copyright.PENANA98mhHw1Gp8
The search was done, the artist known,360Please respect copyright.PENANApmenT9BT2S
And yet—she'd never been alone.
For all along, through every part,360Please respect copyright.PENANAaWhKtM5AU2
He’d painted her inside his heart,360Please respect copyright.PENANAS2og070FaJ
And now at last, her tale complete,360Please respect copyright.PENANARZMKLX4JzI
Two souls had found where they should meet.
