The guy sitting next to her, by sea asked
“How much do You care for me ?”
In love, thoughtful, she smiled, played with her hair and looking at him she finally answered
“I … I don’t know, but … but I feel like I am a child when with You, we play and time has no meaning, like we are each other’s forever game”.
Answering like this out of her soul, looking at the water, without really thinking too much, letting her heart speak.
He was surprised, feeling almost offended by the words, and said:
“So is this how much you care for me ? “
An old man sitting nearby smiled and giggled.
The boy turned to him and in a loud voice”
“And You – why do you laugh ? You are an experienced man, do you think this what love is supposed to be ? How a woman is supposed to love?”
Saying it loud almost wanting to make her feel ashamed
The man looked at him, bold and angry, then turned his face to her, and then he thus spoke:
“Oh, you. Have you ever tried to take away a game from a playing child?
My Dear friend have you ever tried to detach someone from his entire world ?
A child that plays is not playing with the game her soul IS the game, it becomes her entire world; there is no inside, no outside, no thoughts about breathing, eating, about being tired or sleepy, this is how important it is.”
“Are you sure You don’t want something so pure, are You sure you can be worth her? Are you sure she can be as much as you are for her, of her being THAT much for you ?”
The man was not even finished speaking before the boy started having tears in his eyes, such a fool he was.
