History Of Love

HISTORY OF LOVE

Once upon a time there was a boy. He lived in a village
that no longer exists, in a house that no longer exists,
on the edge of a field that no longer exists, where everything
was discovered and everything was possible. A stick could
be a sword. A pebble could be a diamond. A tree a castle.
Once upon a time there was a boy who lived in a house across
the field from a girl who no longer exists. They made up
a thousand games. She was queen and he was King. In
the autumn light, her hair shone like a crown. They collected
the world in small handfuls. When the sky grew dark they
parted with leaves in their hair.

Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl,
and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole
life answering.
