Зустрілися в одному серці дві Любові – Колишня і Нинішня.
- Ти божилося, що мене ніколи не забудеш, - мовила Колишня. - Любиш?
- Люблю, - схлипнуло серце.
- А як же я, - змахнувши довгими віями, підійшла Нинішня. – Кохаєш?
- Кохаю, - аж захлинулось Серце.
Любов Колишня глибоко засиніла очима і ступила з Серця. Кожен крок її в Ньому відбивався громом, по слідах зростали яскраві голубі Незабудки.
Любов Нинішня повногубо всміхнулася, розправила світлі кучерики. А потім зручно вмостилася, згорнулася калачиком і спокійно заснула.
Серце боялось і Стукати, аби її не потурбувати...

Two loves

Once, there were two loves, that met in one heart- Past and Present

-You swore you’ll never forget me - said the Past Love to the Heart. - Do you still love me?

-I do! Somehow, the Heart felt like crying.

-And what about me? - coming closer, asked the Present Love, her eyes wide open, blinking her long lashes.- Do you love me ?

Oh, yes, I love you! The Heart burst out crying. It could not keep the tears streaming down its swollen walls.

The eyes of the Past Love became dark blue. She started to walk away, leaving the Heart. To the Heart, each of her step, was like a sound of thunder, each move was a reflection of the past! The further she went, the more forget-me-nots were blooming behind her.

The Present Love, her full lips slightly open, gently brushed off her shiny curls and smiled happily. She curled up in the corner of the Heart, relaxed and content, she fell asleep.

The Heart became very quiet, almost stopping its heartbeats, not wanting to disturb his Present Love.
