A Forest of Two

Short story that semi-resembles my last relationship.

There was once a very small girl, and she loved a tiny boy very much. They lived together beneath an old, tall tree, whose branches stretched out over them and shaded their lives.

Through the seasons, the tree sprouted leaves, allowing them to grow broader in vibrant green, letting them change colors, and finally allowing them to fall and fade.

And this is how the girl and the boy loved each other. Their love started out small, a tiny smile flashed from one to another, then gradually grew. All through the long summer, their love for each other deepened and spread, just as the roots and branches of the tree did.

Eventually, however, their love changed. From being fresh, new, and innocent, it became stale, old, and based solely on passion. And, as with all things founded on fleeting desire alone, the tree -- and the love the little girl had for the boy -- withered and passed away, fading into snow.
