The Willow Tree
______________________________



I can hear the artist pressing down the keys of the piano.

Yet I don’t mind it too much.

It’s comforting in a way.

It makes it feel more real.


This song.

It makes me think.

About all the times I’ve had to leave things behind.

But then I compare that to where I am now.


It’s not so bad.

They would be happy.

I would think so..

Now that things are calm again.


I picked this thinking you might like it.

Though I do know you like more interesting chords and such.

But I’ve been telling you to think more simpler.

So give it a chance.


Willow Trees represent a lot of different things.

But I think of them more as survivors.

Able to withstand various storms.

They hold memories.


Logically speaking..

Willows Trees can grow as wide as they are in height.

They are just a tree after all.

Nothing quite unique about them.


Yet people end up sitting under its branches daily.

They meet someone new.
Then they visit it routinely.

To see if that person will be there next time.


I do that.

Though recently the routine has changed.

Now I find myself sitting there alone.

Waiting.


I wonder..

How long would you wait for?

How long would it take until you gave up?

How much do you care?


How much to get you to stay?
