Ce n’est pas toujours romance

Life blooms when you begin to live.
When you smile through the pain,
And let your heart brim with sunshine.

Ce n’est pas toujours romance,
Sometimes, it’s the souls we stumble upon:
Those who fold us into their warmth
like we were always meant to belong.

Family. Friends. Strangers.
Even the quiet boy
who meets your gaze with a blush.

Life is fleeting.
So love,
boldly,
gently,
as much as your heart can hold.
