Intro
Sometimes, what draws us to someone is how alive our minds become around them. A conversation lingers, an ordinary street looks different, and we begin noticing things we had stopped seeing.
Inspired by Tiakola’s Gasolina, “She Fuels My Soul” explores that quiet awakening. Beneath its playful imagery is a longing to be moved by someone’s imagination—to feel admiration deepen through conversation. Writing it made me wonder how much of attraction comes from recognising another person, and how much comes from rediscovering ourselves in their presence.
Outro
Perhaps that is what I am searching for: a connection that keeps curiosity alive. Someone whose thoughts stay with me after the conversation ends, making me want to write, to create, to look closer. And I hope to offer her the same—a place where her imagination feels heard, and room for us both to grow.
Spiritual Takeaway
The spiritual takeaway is to recognise the beauty someone awakens in us while remembering that God remains the source of our life. Her creativity can inspire me, but she cannot carry the weight of being my purpose or completing my soul.
That turns admiration into a deeper question: am I only drawn to how she makes me feel, or am I willing to listen, give, and seek her good? Love matures when the person who inspires our poetry is also someone we honour in ordinary life.
