I see you
A seed was planted, while ago.
Inclement weather and infertile ground made it hard, but it finally grew within me.
#InTheBackOfMyMind I kept thinking: “What a beautiful tree”: I couldn’t wait to climb and “experience” it.
I was so eager to eat the fruits, that as soon opportunity rose, I tasted one – prematurely.
Its skin was shiny & soft and its fragrance delightful.
But little did I know that green fruits don’t taste that good…
Although, months went by – and my first impression left a bitter taste in my mouth – I still thought about “it” – #InTheBackOfMyMind
#InTheBackOfMyMind I wondered how me being patient would have made “things” different.
#InTheBackOfMyMind I am still pondering if its texture and palatability would have suited me.
#InTheBackOfMyMind I lost myself and fantasized. Fantasize still, and write about that feeling…
#InTheBackOfMyMind I know I’m not the only one with a sweet tooth and other fruits may suit me better.
I still think of “it”… from time to time…
I really wonder what the message was; what the message is.
#InTheBackOfMyMind all things happens for specific reasons, and fruits “like that” are no coincidence.
Fruits like “yoU” keep me believing.
Keep me believing I still can “Feel” – and will feel that same way again about other fruits… at some points.
A seed was planted, while ago.
A beautiful tree grew within me and his wood helped me build solid doors and windows.
Not sure I will ever taste its fruits ever again, but if I do, this time I’ll wait until they are ripe.
