Our Flower

It Started off as a seed. That we, you and I planted. We watered it daily, gave it plenty of sunshine, and it grew. The most beautiful flower, it was. People envied it. Wishing they could grow a flower like ours. "It will always bee there", you said, " as long as we remember to take care of it. But our lives sometimes caused us to forget to shower it with affection. We sometimes forgot to water it, and sit it in the sunshine to absorb the warmth. And soon we didnt water it at all, and it didn't see sunshine for weeks. It started to lose its bright red, and fade to brown. And by the time i realized what was happening it was too late. I tried to revive it. I watered it more than usual. And even let it sit in the sun all day. But it continued to deteriorate. A flower such as this needs the devotion of two, one person can't do it all. So, I had to sit, and watch as our flower... our love... died.
