Before I Knew Your Name

Before I Knew Your Name is a poem about the moment love finds you when you have already decided you don't need it.

She spent years building walls around her heart, convinced that love only leads to betrayal, broken promises, and disappointment. She had carefully planned a life where no one could get close enough to hurt her.

Then, in one ordinary moment, everything changes.

Before she knows his name, before they exchange a single meaningful word, one look is enough to make the world around her fall silent. The walls she spent years building begin to disappear-not because she was forced to tear them down, but because, for the first time, someone makes her wonder if perhaps love isn't something to fear.

Sometimes, the beginning of a love story isn't a confession.

Sometimes, it's just a glance.

And sometimes, you can fall for someone before you even know their name.
