A Dream of a Flower

...Her dream...

From my sleep I was awoken by the sweet smelling air. On my cheeks, I felt the soft kiss of morning. The rush of emotions flooded inside me as the first thought I always had was you.

I would earnestly look at my feet to see where you have fallen to caress you, to relieve your pain. But how cruel can the world be? Each time I awaken, your remains had already been blown away by the wind.

It is inevitable. My heart races every time, for the first time that I open my eyes. I anticipate the moment when I will hear your voice. But my heart crumbles each time I hear the gentle breeze whisper to my ear. Your whisper carried by the wind telling me, “I love you”

I want to take hold of it, never let it go. But what can I do? Where has the wind taken it to? I was strong to let go of the only thing which came from you. But I was weak to love you more and more.

I want to see who was whispering those words to me. Your voice so deep and clear, so valiant yet gentle to my ear.

But I feel the loneliness as I remember the words you left for me. The words that I could only hear once, the words that make my heart flutter and shatter at the same time. Those were the words filled with pain and love from you my beloved. So tender so calm.

I am thankful nevertheless. I am grateful that because of you every time I wake up, I see the vast blue skies. I feel the warmth of the sun. I feel the joy of life. I feel your love each time the sun shine on me.

If not for you, I will not be here. I will not see the beauty of the world, I will not hear your beautiful words. But also if not for you, I would not be longing, I will not feel such sweet sorrow that grows by the day.

But your intangible love that I feel each day, your love that is precious to me. It gives me strength to live and bloom to the fullest. It is because of you that I try so hard to be pleasant, of use and worth of this life.

It's my only way of showing love for I cannot say “I love you” like you do.

This is what I shall promise instead, to you who had always waited. I will treasure the life you have shared to me until that day that we meet again. Even if it's just the pigments in my skin that you can see for now when you wake up, I know that you can feel my love when I wither away and you can feel the embrace I leave with my sweet scent.

Then, in return can you do something for me? Can you let me believe for a while that I am hearing your voice, your whisper? The whisper from your heart and your sweet voice. They are all true. Let me hold on to this until that day comes when I can finally meet you.

Let me dream a little longer.

Author's Note:

I'm not sure if this should be under romance or not. Tell me if it should be somewhere else. (I was thinking really hard between supernatural/fantasy/romance) Hmm...consider this as the prologue of "Sang Sa Hwa" I might post it soon but well this prologue would be the other way then. In this, it was the flower which was alive while it's the leaves which die well that's because this chapter was supposed to be the male God's side and he's alive cause he's immortal and he's the flower as he's beautiful lol. Well the leaves is the human female who has limited lifespan like all of us.

I hope you liked this.
