Love these lines - “The desire each of these boys had for the other, physical desire, not only the more chastely laudable spiritual kind, trailed behind them like a comet’s tail. I picked up my pace a bit – not too much, at my age, but a bit – so that the dust from it might settle on me before it drifted away in the air.”

What a joy knowing that those lines resonated with you.
Loved this story, so sweet, so memory-laden, reflecting the exquisite beauty and the sad regrets of life. It warmed me on this cold day.
