>once upon a time… the morning air, so light and sweet, silkily tracing our insides with the promise of youth, recharged our impulses and laughter.
once upon a time… your hair was soft, and my smile demure.
once upon a time… we hid under a canopy of translucent wonder, encompassed by warmth and sheltered from the elements beyond, our faces shadowed and painted.
once upon a time… the bells tolled one, two, three.
once upon a time… i felt weightless, supported only by the greenness below, and from you above.
once upon a time… we forgot reality and allowed ourselves to transcend…
once upon a time… i was impervious.
once upon a time… time stopped forever.
