I am a twenty-something boy, earnest and with a good heart, who laughs happily at a new flower and falls in love in exchange for a smile.

I grow younger as time goes on--when I was a child, I was far too old for my tastes. I chose some time ago to grow younger and more beautiful through the years, a strategy which seems to be working nicely.

I'm not rich, but I'm smart. I'm not athletic, but I'm strong.

I've spent time in the forest, where the trees know me and the wind tickles my hair. I've been a leader of hundreds and of thousands, and I earned my degree from one of the best colleges in the world. I've spent years in a single room, almost entirely alone, writing good and wonderful books so that others might enjoy them. I have loved across more than one ocean, have known the utter joy of a smile and the terrible sadness of a tear, the pain of love lost and the redemption of old friends regained.

I'm looking for love, because it's noble and wonderful, and because I'm a hopeful Romantic. I also seek meaning. What is the picture behind the picture? And why does it matter, why is it more than an intellectual exercise? Every girl can be a princess and every boy can be a hero, and vice-versa in all the rearrangements. We're all of us heroes, if only we remember it.

I've had some very unusual experiences, and there are very usual experiences I've never had. I'm not what you're expecting. Love me well and you will be free; but remember that if the match between us be poor, the love will be a chain of almost-was, for love follows and does not precede the matching of hearts.
