love upon a time

"Hand in hand, they strolled across the sun-killed campus, the fading light dancing across her porcelain skin and catching the spark in her mismatched eye - a piercing blue that had once mirrored the turmoil in his soul. He remembered the day they'd met, how her quiet strength had iritated him, how he'd mistook her introversion for weakness. But she'd unravelled him, thread by thread, until he was left bare and hers.

'You're home now,' she whispered, squeezing his hand.

Home. A place he'd never known he needed until he'd found her.

Behind them, the city lights flickered to life, a distant hum of noise and chaos, but here, in this quiet space, everything was still. Everything was perfect.

He pulled her close, his voice low, 'Forever's not enough.'

Her smile was his undoing. 'It's a start.' 🌟"
