Once upon a time, many many years ago, alittle girl had a beautiful garden. Everyday, she would walk into her garden, humming a little, and kneel before all her beautiful roses and plants. Everyday, she would pick one flower. She swore she would pick one flower as long as her heart would beat. And everyday, without fail, she went into her garden, humming her little tune, and picked one beautiful rose.
One day, she lost her love. It was a true love. As true and as pure as love came. That love was more beautiful then any flower in her garden, and more lovely then the sunset of 1,000 suns. When she realized what had happen, and she understood what she had did, she ran into her garden and fell into its dirt and cried.
She cried for many nights and many days. The sun never shone on her garden, but yet, it rained for weeks. Her heart stopped beating within those weeks, and she would just lay in on the muddy ground of her garden, her dress full of filth, and she would cry. Her tears sunk into the ground, and the roses absorbed all of her pain. Everything died and withered.
Years went on. The little girl still broken from her lost and shattered love. Not once did she move, or take in a breath, or stop crying. She just lay on the ground, letting her shriveled plants take in her sorrow.
One late afternoon, on another long overcast rained filled day, a silent figure swept through her dead and decaying garden. A tall man, with eyes blazing a brilliant color. He knelt down beside the girl, and took her into his arms. Rocking her gently, he told her to be quiet, and he brushed away her tears with gentle movements of his beautiful hands. He looked into her eyes. A whisper escaped his lips.
"I love you." he said. " And i will always love you. You are mine and i am yours."
He pressed his lips to hers. She clutched at her chest, as she felt her heart begin to beat again. Slowly and tired at first...then faster and harder. The sound echoing throughout the walls of her garden. Her lips parted and a faint smile crossed her face. She spoke, for the first time in years.
"I will never again doubt my love for you. And i will never again lose it, as long as my heart freely beats."
As they sat on the garden floor, the sun peeked its face through the dark clouds. Brilliant golden sunlight swept over the garden. Dead roses dropped into the earth and new blossoms appeared. Butterflies danced through the red, white, yellow and ivory flowers. Birds sang and flew through the air.
The little girl and her Love stood up, their hands clasped together. They melted into each other, and turned and with hands enclosed around each others, they walked, silently out of the garden.
Together again at last, her beautiful garden continues to flourish today.
