Pink Tulips

Hi Shona
Hope you are doing well..
Haven't written you for a while.
How are things with you?
I am doing good.
Came to work and remembered you so thought of writing to you.
Oh, did I tell you there were pink tulips in my backyard today.
Remember we planted them together last winter?
Yah, it's been a year that the bulbs were hidden within the earthy soil, saved from snow and hail, storm and rain.
First came the green, then came the bud.
And finally after some rain and sun, this week came the tulips in full bloom.
It feels nice, pleasant and content to see something growing up infront of you, specially when you planted it together. And equally painful to see them die or wither out. Wish you were here to see them smile in sunshine.

Love
Pink Tulip.

The Pink Tulip - I wonder why she looks at me for long? I wonder if she thinks something as she waters me? I wonder where is the other person I used to see when I was a baby? She was smiling as she tended me, then I saw her wipe the mist in her eyes. Wish I was just not a flower that could only see and not reciprocate. Wish I could tell her, not to feel bad. I did not understand why she cried. And I did not understand either why I felt bad. I knew was she has nurtured me the most. And I wanted to kiss her good night.
