TWISTED ADORATION

As i had read in stories and heard in poetry; Could someone truly be this beautiful? I often tell myself... “These writers just exaggerate things". Can time really stand still when you catch someone’s gaze? Can everything else disappear when you simply look at them?” So many times, I would laugh at books and poetic lines. And then she came... Her presence seemed to silence every sound. In the hustle of the world, only her soft laughter echoed. It felt as if everything had come to a standstill around her. I just stood there, under some kind of spell, unable to speak, unable to move. Every word i ever had seemed meaningless in front of her. As if she was a dream, so beautiful that i feared if i blinked, she might disappear. In that moment, I realized that writers don’t lie. That some people are truly one of God’s unique creations... And I? I just began to search for my existence in her shadow. If only that moment could have lasted, her smile never fading, and that face, forever etched in my eyes. But like every beautiful dream’s end, that moment passed too... And I, Left standing there, carrying a universe of memories in my heart. @JoelOsinachi🌹
