"I know you. I mean, I can only remember you. It's like I don't even exist in my world. So, let me go", she said with a steal heart.
I know she is lying and she has some other strong reason. But I can't ask because of the promise I made.
And now, at present, after getting her in my arms, I am not letting her go. But her is a cactus, I know from first-hand experience which blossoms with love.
So, let the cactus blooms with love.
