I reach for my sword, but find a chocolate box full of roses in its place. What happened to the child that used to wander through the forests, over the carpet of leaves and in the crevices of ravines walking over the rocks while the baby frogs jumped around from rock to rock and a splash in the stream was no more than an ankle high problem and a box of chocolates was something that you gave someone if you loved them and a valentine's day card was only something that every kid would give every other kid in the class and an empty chocolate box was just that, an empty chocolate box and now an empty chocolate box is just a sign of love gone remiss. |
