Once upon a time

Once upon a time, there was a flicker of light. A flicker of light that sparkled so brightly that you could not help but notice it. The flicker was the spark of love. 

As it moved throughout its days looking for a place to rest, it saw a lonely young man wandering through time. Wandering through time looking for something, he did not know what. He just knew it was something he knew he needed to find. 

It thought, now there is a place to rest. I will come back if I don't find another place soon. 

As it moved on through the world, it noticed a girl, pretty with red curls and green eyes. She was sitting quietly under a tree writing in a book. "To love and be loved" she murmured and wrote as a lonely smile spread across her mouth. 


As the light moved behind the girl to see the book, it was amazing to see the drawing, the drawing of the lonely young man. Under the picture was the caption, the man of my dreams. 

Awe, thought the light as she thought back through her days. Awe she thought again as she remembered the lonely young man wandering through time. Awe it thought is it looked at the little red headed girl writing quietly in her book. 

With a tap on the page of the book, next to the scribbling pencil, it caught the attention of the pretty red haired girl. Bouncing in the air in front her her, the light prompted her to follow.

Glowing brightly, it moved back through the world to the place where it left the lonely young man, often looking behind to make sure the girl still followed. She did, book in hand, pencil curled into her hair. 

When she saw him, she dropped her book. It fell open to the page where her drawing was. He looked at it, picked it up, looked at her and smiled. A tear on his cheek, he asked her her name. Their hands touched, and then they knew. He knew he had found what he had been looking for. She knew he was the man of her dreams. They knew they would never again be apart.
