The Tree

Ever since we first met, I knew you were the one for me. You were the sunshine on my rainy days, The light that guided me through the dark. But then you had to leave for a while. You told me you would return, and I believed you. But when you were not back, a seed was planted in my mind. As time went on, it grew into a sapling, then into a tree. The tree whispered in my mind, telling me that our love was over, That you were never coming back. I tried to block out its sounds, But there was no stopping the unending torment. I nearly started to believe the tree's whispers. But that was when you can back, With a passion burning brighter than it ever had before. You came and the tree was burned, down to only a blacked stump. And the tree whispered to me no more.
