From the moment I heard about your myth, I searched for the legend of your soft lips. I wandered like a bewildered wordsmith, confused if such elegance did exist. I became a pilgrim of devotion, roaming paths to oceans for just one glimpse. Struggling to express this rare emotion, I kept hope you would end my unloved jinx. Upon a balcony facing the shore, I saw a celestial sight of patience. Before I could find the way to your door, I became lost in a maze of silence. Timid tongue was stubborn with resistance, as you disappeared into the distance. bewildered wordsmith express this rare emotion end my unloved jinx a celestial sight of patience - legend of your soft lips did exist
