Too sad!
A young girl sitting in the garden
She leans against the trunk
She closes her eyes and sees her love.
She reaches for a flower
She waits patiently
�Will he return? will he not?...
She's allowing the flower to foretell her fate!

Who is she?
Where has she come from?
Why is she all alone?
Her eyes staring at the distance,
expectantly.
underneath the tree so dear,
where only months before
fire of passion was ignited
and shared between two lovers.
Secret vows were exchanged.
She stretches out her arms,
but only reaching into nothingness.
She opens her eyes and realizes
that it has all been like a dream.
She�s still waiting for her lover's return.
and begins peeling off its petals.
"He loves me, he loves me not...
...he loves me, he loves me not..."
until the last petal was peeled.
Like petals of the flower,
her dream begins to fade.
for her lover to return.
She plucks another flower,
and begins to peel its petals again.
Perhaps this time
the result will be different...
...will he return? will he not?...�
Each petal, signifying a promise kept.
She isn�t looking forward to his love anymore.
She will be satisfied...if only he will return.
