She believed in love

She believed in love. Not the fleeting kind that drifts away like smoke, but the kind she read about in books— the kind that stitched two souls together so tightly that life apart was unthinkable. A love so strong it echoed beyond the grave, a love that lived in the whispers of time, retold from one generation to the next, a story that never grew old. They shook their heads at her, smiling with pity, telling her to leave the pages behind, to pull her head from the clouds and plant her feet on the ground. But how could she? How could she explain that what they called a dream was the very truth she carried inside? For in her heart and in her soul, she knew such love was real— a love both fairytale and fire, both tender as a lullaby and fierce enough to burn through eternity. A love so pure it felt like grace, a love so good it could not be denied. And though the world doubted, she believed… for she had already felt it. Bibi✌🏾
