A flower is symbolic of many things. Love for instance... Love in my life is like a withering flower , every petal that falls is another lost love. I begin to think that i will never love again, and then he just walks into my life, i fall inlove with this beautiful stranger. My love grows as i get to know him, but i know what is in store for the future yet another petal will fall and my heart will be broken again. is this the one true love if my life or am i just mistaken will he be like the others and just forget about me or will he always be there. Some flowers bloom again the next year untill then will he fade away, or rather will my love for him fade away? he loves me he loves me not, there is no way of knowing what fate has lying in its path. what is love anyway? is it just a fantasy , something that sprouts from our imagination. Does love exist in our world? i'd like to bilieve so, my love for this individual is just so strong. i know its true love on my part, it is so real... speaking of which there is reality in this situation. i have no chance with him and i know it. i go un-noticed but yet i am so attatched to him . i cant let go, what is so important about this "petal" why wont i let this one fall? he has left permanent footprints on my heart and he has changed the way i look at life and love, he has had a strong impact on my life over the past couple of years. he has made my life that much happier. he is a flower within himself, i met him for a certain reason, but the time will come soon when we will have to part and he will move on with his life. what will become of my love for him?...only time will tell. i know that this flower will never fade away, but instead be a part of me for the rest of my life.
Reason for writing:
My friend Brett is going away to college next year... and i have grown close to him over the past couple of years, just the thought of him leaving makes me cry. I was looking at a picture of me and him at our semi-formal and i just picked up a pen and paper and started writing.
