She whispered of a forthcoming amour,
A Leo in the celestial sphere.
Parental disapproval, tethered by faith,
Yet her heart remained untouched, unconcerned.
In joy they reveled, grounded and serene,
Unfazed by judgments, blissfully entwined.
Her parents, alas, no suitor would they endorse,
Yet her sovereignty prevailed, her choice untamed.
In the atmosphere, love's enchantment lingered,
Summer's embrace a perennial allure.
Hope ignited within her, a flickering belief,
That this time, perchance, destiny aligned.
A lament escaped her lips,
For he courted many, a heart astray.
She vowed to cease, unwilling to squander,
Time wasted no more, liberation in tow.
Still, friends they remain, an intimate bond,
Romance eluded, yet content she stands.
For in the void, a promise beckons,
Something better awaits, a destined embrace.
