Love stories are almost never
what's seen in the movies,
read in the books,
heard in the stories.
Sometimes the most beautiful of love stories emerge from the most unaesthetic of places.

To suggest: a McDonald's.
Questionable cheeseburgers and an always broken flurry machine,
two things that always come to mind
when thinking about the parasitic fast food restaurant.

Then again,
love stories almost never end
before the first "Hello",
such as this one.
A love story of only a couple dozen words
and no "I love you"s.

A love story of
no beginning,
no middle,
or even an end.

A love story
that is forgotten by one,
but held onto forever by the other.

A love story,
that isn't even really a love story at all,
just a drama
that could rival Romeo and Juliet.

Then again,
love stories almost always go like that,
a golden gate allowing
only the fortunate and pleasantly blessed
to learn how to read.
