I met a boy today, at the end of the road. A young one, somewhere between 9 or 10. He looked at me with his eyes on the ground. "Where can I find Love?" He questioned.
I did not answer him. Because I could not. In the library, I go daily I find books of genres one such is 'love'.
But the books are not different than 'Horror'. The 'horror' covers are black, absorbing everything I tell, The "love' covers are white, reflecting everything I hear.
I went back with a dictionary and a book of all the love letters that were never written.
I saw him again at the end of the road. This time he looked away from me while looking into my eyes.
I answered him, because I thought I could. 'In the petals of red roses, in the knelt proposes, in the thumbed love letters. in the woollen sweaters. in the candlelight dinner in the lines that win her in the dark sunsets in Romeo and Juliet. in the surprise gifts in the heartbeat that lifts, You, can find love.'
I went home proud, for I knew, he will find love now.
Eternities and forevers later, I met a man today, at the beginning of the road. An old one, somewhere between 90 or 100. He looked at me with his eyes staring inside mine.
'In the thorns that *****, in the words that trick, in the letters never sent in the people who went in the handmade food, in the sceneries you never viewed in the lost sunrise in her eyes and lies in the gift wrappers never thrown, in the hearts that have become stone. I, found love', he finally replied.
