this is their story...

"you don't know me at all. so how can you love me?"

"no. but i do know myself. and i know that i love you."

...it didn't take a magical charm to bind them. so a Magi was not needed. being perfectly lonely would have done just fine for either. but it was inevitable that they meet someone someday. and so they met. and 'that' was the magic trick!

"you look better than ever. but then again, i can't seem to remember you otherwise."

"you don't remember much, do you?"

...age always caught up. no matter how hard anyone tired to cheat it, even of a few moments, it always caught up. it was foolish to think that it was following them. they were merely running away from their own shadows. the only way to evade it was to turn off the lights...

"when do i get to see you next?"

"you ask too many questions. isn't it enough that we're together right now?"

...desires are like Shylock the Jew. they can never have enough of anything. that was the one thing that they were taught ever since their childhood. desires are incorrigible and there were only two ways to deal with them. to murder them in their womb, or to let them live. let them grow and then overwhelm you. like it was about to tonight...
