"I can't let you go your handprint is on my soul"

Here's the thing; People can't choose who they love unconditionally and feeling the need to want to have them forever. Someone once said that one day you will meet someone, fall in love with someone who will see the universe that was knitted into your bones, and the embers of galaxies glow to life in your eyes. And you will finally know what love is supposed to feel like.

Some would find that quote so strikingly true others may not but to Zahra Jenkins, a stubborn sarcastic African female would say the quote is true. Her body ignites on fire like speckles of fireworks going off when she sees James. She often wonders if she is capable of love and to answer that everyone is.

You never really know at what moment you exactly fall in love with someone but you do when the moment is right. When the time is right you feel this feeling inside of you light up, when you are around the person you can't get out of your mind. Falling in love with someone is who appreciates you for who you truly are, and what you do.

It's the person that makes you most respected, for your past, for your present and for how you have become because of all that you have suffered. It is the person who takes the chance to see you, to really see you from within, deep within. Someone who wants to listen to you talk about thinks that interests you, wanting to hear you, to be heard in your wishes and limits.

To the only person who loves you for your beautiful and less beautiful sides, and who can still find you incredibly beautiful, so utterly pure because of who you are. It is to the person who will always without a single doubt in there mind who will still be there for you in the darkest of times, to the one that stays.

Every single person on this planet longs for this sort of affection, it may not come in a few days or even in months to come but it will come. We all long for the same thing, and maybe we love. Love doesn't always have to be about other people, it can be about loving yourself and how you could grow as an individual.

For Zahra Jenkins, she is in fact in love with an 1940 war soldier called James Buchanan Barnes and loves herself for who she has become. It took her a really long time to find out the two but overall she found what she wants and who she is as a person. She loves him and she loves herself.

She found what real love is and she wants to hold on to that dearly because the thought of something happening between her and James would shatter her world if she loses him and she would inevitably fall apart - stopping herself from loving herself again.

She can't lose that.

For James Buchanan Barnes, he is in fact in love with an 26 year old, 21st century stubborn hot head called Zahra Jenkins and loves himself for who he has become. Both souls being mended and repaired by each other that some would say that it only happens in a story telling book - technically there not wrong.

James finally found out what real love is after all these years, he never once thought that he could or would ever find this sort of love in any lifetime but he did. In those nine months of his girl, five hours away he couldn't take it. He knows he could've just hopped onto the jet and fly to her but he knew she needed space but it's that protective side of him.

He would be lying to himself if he ever told her or anyone that something happening to his Dawn was something he could handle. That would be true. Just like Zahra, they both yearn to protect each other. They both can't breathe without each other that they might as well suffocate when they aren't in the same facility.

The one thing they are both selfish about is that they love one another so much without caring about their own thoughts and needs. They got addictive to each other so easily, they don't think they can hold back and walk away from each other if they tried. They are bond together like an magnetic life source. Some would say even a soulmate made from the goddess herself.
