Look at the face in the photograph. That’s what everyone else saw. So reflect: no, it was impossible, all that you imagined.
You were a skeleton then, so self-conscious and shy. Whatever you dreamed up, it was pure make-believe. The confusion of a confused soul.
You had to patiently await your turn. Put everything in order. Prioritise the right things. Prove your worth.
And then, when the time was right, Allah would bring two souls together in the most unexpected way. Still a miracle, all these years later.
Even more so now, given all you have seen.
