this time two years ago

You can tell a single story, a million different ways.

Make it a beautiful tale,

Where once upon a time, a boy loved a boy who had eyes that shined like city lights.

A tragic one,

When he promised him a forever, then gave his heart to another guy.

Or a hopeful kind,

Where as time passed, he found himself laughing with a different boy. One who knows all the lyrics to every song by the Eagles. He is patient, kind, and has a beautiful smile.

“This time, two years ago,” he tells him, “I’ve been trying to find someone on the same page as me.””
