I used to be obsessed with lemons. My favorite dessert was a tart for which you use one, and only one, whole lemon for the filling. One year I spent Christmas with my friend's family in Portland, Oregon, a place with moss-covered trees and tree-lined streets. My friend's mom kept a lemon tree in the living room because it didn't like all the rain out there. It was a scrawny little tree with two branches and countable leaves, but it bore a fruit. My friend decided to make that tart in honor of the  lemon's existence, and we all agreed.


Around the same time, I bought a novel named ''Lemon'', in which the protagonist fell in love with a lemon, about which I told a guy I fell for.

I wish I could say he sent me a basket of lemons or, perhaps, brought me a lemonade, but he broke my heart instead.


The "about" page of the website back then quoted Pablo Neruda, ''which yellow bird fills its nest with lemons''?

When I learned Spanish years later, I would still repeat: ''el pájaro amarillo...el nido de limones...''
 
I don't feel the same about lemons now, but I keep the namesake. It reminds me of stories that I forget from time to time.
