Once upon a time there was a boy. An ordinary boy, as far as such can be said, in all respects but one. This boy had a special gift: he could make anyone love him with their whole heart and soul. The boy came to know about this strange power, and used it as he grew, for his own amusement cruelly. As time move forward however, he realized that it was vein to consider it a blessing, everywhere he went a trail of broken hearts followed him. How could he love his many admirers? They didn�t know him, but were simply blinded by him, and so, he refused them all. He had all but given up on love when one day, he met his soulmate. The boy was beautiful. Grace and fire and magnetic spirit � he was happy because he *knew* his soulmate would fall in love with him too, and they could live happily ever after. But his soulmate didn�t think he was any of those things. This other boy, he had a terrible curse: a heart of stone that could not love. Try as he might, the one he wanted did not want *him*. The boy was sad again. What could he do? The boy cried. He could have anyone but the one he loved. Giving up, he was so heartbroken that he couldn�t live any more, but with his last breath he asked his love, �Why don�t you love me?� A crystal tear fell on his soulmates� face and melted his heart. He answered, �If my love is worth dying for, then I love you.� It was, of course, thought the boy. The end. |
