Quote by Marion Bekoe

“I look at you as you walk in,
another morning, another cup of coffee,
unaware that my world tilts each time you appear. I look at you as you glide past me,
effortless, confident, collecting your order,
but today—today, you turn and smile. I look at you walking toward me,
your presence close enough to steal my breath.
My lips tremble, yet no words escape. I look at you as you ask for my name,
but all I can do is stare, trapped in the moment,
until finally, I whisper—"I’m Marion." I look at you as your smile deepens,
as your lips part to reveal your own name—
but then, she appears. I look at you as your eyes flicker toward her,
the same woman from that day, stepping from your car. My heart clenches—until you turn back and say, “Marion, this is Laura, my sister. We just moved here.” I exhale, a quiet laugh escaping as I meet her eyes.
“Hi, Laura.” I look at you with boldness, a spark of mischief.
"Are you single?" I ask, my voice steady now. I look at you as you grin, as you nod.
"Yes, I am." And suddenly, the future rushes back,
crystal clear, waiting for us to begin.”
