One of my favorite things to do with you was listening to your talks.
One of your favorite things to talk about was mythology.
I wasn't interested in that at first.
I'm sorry, my love.
But seeing your eyes shining above your wide smile made me fall.
I fell deeper into topics I've never thought about.
I fell deeper in love with you.
The world could be falling into pieces around us,
but I'd only care about the world you were telling me about.
Where Kelpies would run around and a Nāgá would be dancing.
A world the Chimera guards and Brownies keep safe.
But I couldn't care less about fairies, dragons and unicorns.
It wasn't magic what made all these stories delightful.
Their charm was you. It was your voice.
The excitement you tried to hide when I asked you to tell me mythology stories.
Your voice held all the magic mythology writes about.
