When Fall Falls To Spring

It all happened in my dream last night...

Amid the cruel forest of chagrin and misery, I saw a young perishing tree. It was starkly damaged by the downpour of inane swizz and doubts that had just occurred  the other day. Nothing was left to it except for a tiny yellowish leaf -- the only leaf which remained even after the heavy storm.

As such dream continued ...

I discern how hard the leaf clings to the tree. I waited so long for its departure but no matter how violent the wind blows, no matter how many storm came -- it lingers still.

Anon the tree gained strength again.New leaves sprouted once more -- it became more wonderful than ere.

When I woke up...

I think back of what I've dreamed of, and then fathomed the reason of the leaf. The leave would never left the tree for it has the eternal faith unto the tree.Unlike the other leaves that left already, the leaf that remained believes that the tree can make it through -- whole again.

And most of all, the leaf will die upon leaving the tree.

I then realized the reason why I am still by his side no matter how hard, painful, virulent and lonely our relationship could be.

Just like the tree that never leaves its tree, I would never leave him for he is my life.
