love stories.

it is not always epic,
not always heartbreaking,
not always a story for the children.

sometimes, i don't know how often,
but when it happens for real,
it will last forever in that second.
even though it may already be finished.

i fear my love story is already over.
my old loves were great,
now all that exists are the seconds
when it was real.
when it was something like the truth.

it was hard to recognise,
i think, because there isn't much truth
for children to see.
that's not what fairy tales are for.

but who knows,
these children believe in the truth.
even if they won't know what it is.
