The Fool?

Hello sir, can you help me?
I can try.
I have a question.
Let's hear it then.
What is love?
--- That's an odd question to ask.
I know sir, but I want to know.
Well I'm afraid I'm not the person to ask.
Why is that?
I've never been in love.
Never?
No. I spent my youth disposing of all the women in my life.
Disposing?
Yes. I tried to stay young for too long. Each of those women took a piece of me.
I'm so sorry.
Don't be sorry, just don't be a fool, like me.

Sir?
Yes?
Do you believe love exists?
Oh, yes.
But why?
Because not many can survive without it.
And you?
I got lucky.
Lucky?
It takes a foolish man to spend his life alone and a stupid one not to notice. I'm lucky enough to be both.
Maybe you're brave.
​Maybe I am.
