Once upon a time in the picturesque town of Willowbrook, there lived a young woman named Lily. With her captivating smile and kind heart, she was adored by everyone in the community. But deep within her, she yearned for a love that would sweep her off her feet.

Across town, in a small bookstore called "The Enchanted Pages," a young man named Ethan spent his days surrounded by shelves filled with stories of adventure and romance. He had an air of mystery about him, always lost in the worlds of the books he cherished. Little did he know, fate had something extraordinary in store for him.

One rainy afternoon, as Lily sought refuge from the storm, she stumbled upon "The Enchanted Pages." The bell above the door chimed softly as she stepped inside, her eyes immediately drawn to Ethan behind the counter. Their gazes met, and in that instant, time seemed to stand still.

Ethan, captivated by Lily's beauty, felt a warmth fill his heart that he had never experienced before. He greeted her with a friendly smile and offered to help her find a book. Their conversations flowed effortlessly, as if they had known each other for a lifetime.

Days turned into weeks, and Lily found herself visiting the bookstore more frequently, not only to explore the literary treasures but also to catch a glimpse of Ethan. Their connection grew stronger with every encounter, and they discovered a shared love for storytelling, music, and long walks in the park.

One evening, under a sky painted with stars, Ethan gathered the courage to confess his feelings to Lily. They sat on a park bench, their hands trembling with anticipation. With a gentle voice, he spoke of how she had brought joy and enchantment into his life, and how he couldn't imagine a future without her.

Lily's heart swelled with happiness, and tears of joy glistened in her eyes. She reached out to hold Ethan's hand, their fingers intertwining as they embraced the magic of the moment. With a soft whisper, she confessed that she had fallen deeply in love with him as well.

Their love story continued to unfold, filled with laughter, shared dreams, and endless support. Lily and Ethan celebrated each other's successes and comforted one another through life's challenges. The townspeople marveled at their love, recognizing it as a rare and beautiful bond.

As the years passed, Lily and Ethan's love grew stronger, becoming an enduring tale whispered throughout the generations. They became a symbol of love, reminding everyone that true love, once found, can create a lifetime of enchantment and happiness.

And so, in the town of Willowbrook, the love story of Lily and Ethan flourished, proving that sometimes, amidst the pages of a bookstore, one can find a love that transcends time and captures the essence of true romance.

The perfect stranger



It is for you, you the perfect stranger
Yes you are, to me you always will be.
I saw you but could never tell, that you
would put me through a storm
Which would leave me wanting for a million
more like them.
A storm so perfect, makes it impossible for a
Poet to put in words, a doctor to treat,
a driver to steer, a lover to love, a blind man to hear,
a deaf man to sense.
Its hard.
But there you were, sitting next to me, smiling.
Your cheeks shining from the sunlight
falling on your face so graceful, yet supple, at the same time charming?
It is hard to put you in words
But somewhere after I gathered the courage to speak to you
I realized.
I realized that this conversation was something I wanted
to spend the rest of my life in.
Why wouldn’t I?
Your smile, your laughs, your jokes, my sarcasm
Your hair blowing from the wind, skin lit up from
the sun, my happiness, my feelings, your words
Why wouldn’t I ?
We parted ways, but I couldn’t.
my mind couldn’t
my heart couldn’t.
I was still there with you. My mind was there with you, my heart was still there
with you.
The voice in my head kept telling me, but my Jim beam helped me even more.
Jim, the glass, told me in the bar that I sat in, in the airport,
He told “go to her” “run for her.”
I said “**** you Jim, you know what ? I will go to her.”
“you will?”, I said to the glass “I will”.
Slammed down the glass and went out the bar with only one thing in my mind.
You.
Yes you, only you, you alone.
I ran…...I ran….I ran for you.
Looked around for that thing of beauty, but no.
I ran around all the places which had turned dull
They had turned dull, because you were the light
And I couldn’t find my light anywhere.
Everywhere I ran I saw darknesss
But not you. Not light. You were gone
I had realized all that as I was being stared at by everyone near me…
But I couldn’t care, I wanted you, my light, my heart,
You weren’t anywhere.
You were lost.
And were lost forever. But how can I ever forget you.
You are my perfect stranger, yes you.
you are, and to me ,
you always will be.
