Once upon a time when I was a young girl I knew a boy who lived across the street. He had sun bleached hair that would tumble down and cover one eye, one of his green eyes. When he would smile, I smiled. When he would cry, I cried. Every single thing that ever happened to me that mattered, in some way, had to do with him. Having a bad day could be changed to having the best time of my life with a simple smile in my vague direction. A simple smile from a perfect boy created in me a perfect stillness. The day he moved away, we promised each other that, no matter what, we'd be together again. It was a promise full of passion, made from pure honesty. It was the kind of promise that can only come from the hearts of the very young. I never saw him again. |
