Those precious seeds, you planted with care.
Watered, nurtured them, every single day.
From the depths of your heart, protected them.
However, now you can simply throw them away.
Full-grown, blossoming petals of beauty.
Covered in little droplets of dew.
They symbolise a love so pure and delicate.
But alas, they won't bring such happiness to you.
Now here you stand within your garden.
You fought tooth and nail for this, with all you had.
And for what? Just so that you'd finally be happy.
Though in hindsight's gaze, it only made you sad.
It seems as if your "fool-proof" plan has failed.
...And there is no plan B.
Kid, throw away your precious flowers.
Flowers of the heart, he'll never see...
