“I look at you and see a life we’ve yet to build, a love that feels inevitable, waiting to unfold. I look at your face and ache to make you smile, to be the reason your eyes shine just a little brighter. I look at you and want to lift you higher, to be the arms that catch you, the voice that fuels you. I look at you and dream of a future—our future, where your children are mine, and mine are yours. I look at you and feel invincible, as if with you beside me, there’s nothing I can’t conquer. I look at you and hesitate, unsure how to begin, my heart racing over a name I don’t even know. I look at you as you walk past me, our silent moment stretching between sips of coffee. I look at you as you turn, as you smile— and then I look at you drive away with another woman, because in the end, we are just strangers at the coffee shop.” — Marion Bekoe
