The boy, flower, and spine.

Once there was a boy who always suffered from loneliness and fear of losing people, which made him come across a few rocks. Still, by heaven’s mistake, the boy also came across a flower that he started caring about most and loved more than anything. He knows nothing but that flower in his daily life. He used to tend and water it every day like those are the only things he knew all his life. Even though it didn’t bloom some days he still never stopped his devotion towards it he took every petal she had thrown and caught every single seed it tried to pollinate since he wanted that flower all to himself because It is the only flower that turned its water droplets into the mirror and taught him how to smile even in his worst mood. In no time he made himself a tiny branch to hold her until the end from the moment the flower told the boy she loved him with everything it had. Why would the boy turn her away when she was the only flower in his life who never chose someone over him and loved him in return with never before passion? From that day the flower cared for that boy and used to Cafuné him whenever he needed it most to let him know that it stayed by his side. They both lived together like a rock in a waterbed, the flower as the water touched him every single second and the boy like a rock holding the water from slipping away. Even though the boy was aggressive he didn’t hurt that flower in situations when the flower hurt him largely cause the boy thought it was also a way of expressing his love for his flower. They both shared the past hands they had been with and accepted every flaw in each other with no second thought.

But in these irresistible love story what’s the tragedy is once in the past the boy craved a flower for over five years which unknowingly rooted a fear deep inside him, This same fear made him ask the flower every single time Will you stay with me forever? and that same fear at the end made him leave this flower when the flower left him for a little period Even though it looked like a small thing the situation was bad which just brought back the five years of fear in him and besides the guilt that flower is not shining hard for its goal cause of him. which is the Goal the flower is trying it’s best to live in it before the flower met the boy but stopped rooting for it in the madness of boy’s love. He tried to make this right and remind it what needed to be done so it wouldn’t regret it in the end but it was not happening. situations raised so many questions and fears Would she still be with him if it goes into a bunch of new flowers and what if it is brainwashed by a toxic flower when it leaves the garden after reaching its goal What if it regrets this relationship if it didn’t reach it’s goal? Even though that flower tried to stop him so much he couldn’t listen to it since his eyes were blurred and his ears became dumb enough to understand it with fear inside him and couldn’t love back this monumental and rare piece.

​

The boy suffered so much in silence cause he hurt that flower so much despite of promises he made. He knows deep inside that Flower is suffering more from the moment he spilled his blood to cut the branch he made to hold that flower for all his life. From the very next day the boy started behaving differently and stopped watering and caring like before even though the flower would look at him daily hoping he would hold him again like before but he didn’t step near that flower anymore cause he thought it wouldn’t end and it wouldn’t start working for the goal which is getting nearby-near from the day they parted. One day, the boy shared his situation with something in an attempt to feel better after his flower and he went down different paths. Later, he became trapped and deceived by that same thing because he didn’t realize he was holding a spine in the garden all along. The boy was unaware of the thorn and experienced pain. He was forced to forget about the flower that he had cared for and watered so much. Due to the pain, he did some regrettable things with the thorn, which caused him to express his affection in the wrong place. He saved too much for his flower, but unfortunately, he didn’t get a chance to show it because their relationship ended.

But as soon as the boy realized it was the spine he never held it the next time cause he was in too much pain after getting fooled by the spine which covered itself with leaves of lies and cruelty. The flower was struggling there to forget the boy and besides he ended up spilling his blood drop by drop due to the hidden sharpness of the spine. Besides all these the flower and boy even though they started traveling different paths still didn’t stop looking out for each other sometimes but one day the flower in their little conversation which they had since both never ignored the love they had deep inside the flower being unable to bear the pain of missing the boy it asked the boy again wholeheartedly to hold her like before. Even though the boy wanted it before holding it again he shared how he opened his affection wings in the wrong place near the spine and spilled his blood This made that flower bleed even more because that flower thought he was its light to shine not an irresistible wind to destroy it. It started dropping its petals one by one from the moment it heard the boy and at the end, the flower left with a bud that was ready to pollinate because it didn’t have the strength to bloom anymore.

The boy After some days the boy started looking out for the flower again cause he couldn’t stop caring for the flower since it was his flower once upon a time but the flower hated it. The flower can only hate the boy more and more because it lost all its petals from the pain the flower suffered through the boy After all this the flower was trying to bloom again so that the flower could live a life at least to reach its goal. But the boy didn’t stop looking at the flower even though he promised that he would never look at it again because the flower trying hard to bloom again and the boy looking at her did nothing but drop more petals of the flower since it remained more and more how he held it once upon a time.

The boy promised not to look anymore but after some days he started to look again continuously which made the flower angry, The boy wanted the flower to listen to the fact that he was trapped by that spine he never wanted to hurt the flower in any way. He hoped the flower could understand him since the flower could understand how sharp a spine can be. The reason the boy wasn’t there with the flower when he had to be there for that flower was because he thought it would disturb the flower from reaching its goal and the decision not to look at the flower and the pain of holding his love back which in turn made him easily prone to the spine. The moment he realized this he never stopped looking at Flower hoping it would look at him at least once to kneel and tender it to rewind their old moments so that it would listen to his sayings.

All this time he looked at the flower even though it didn’t want it cause of the pain he gave that flower, But despite that, he looked more and started watering the flower cause he wanted to show that flower it didn’t only need petals to shine it can still turn into to fruit to shine even more but the flower can’t trust the boy to hold it anymore.

In the end “a love story is still a love story even when two people don’t end up together” but think before slipping away things so that you can weigh your heart with butterflies instead of mind with regretting thoughts.
