Thinking and wondering what he did wrong. He thought of something that would symbolize a new start… While walking down in this crowded place, he suddenly smell a sweet scent, it was a relaxing aroma. Something that is not just for the satisfaction of your nostrils but it’s also pleasing to look at as well.

It was the ever indestructible beauty of flowers. This was the perfect choice for him. Slowly touching all those beauty of nature, looking for the best one. He found a red-orange flower combination with the carnation standing atop ready to bloom. "This one and that one!" shouted the young man. "The artificial or the fresh one?" the seller asked. Without thinking he grabbed the freshest of them all. "She will definitely forgive you", the seller suddenly whispered. "Will it last long?" i asked… "Yes it will!" was her encouraging answer.

All’s well that ends well. Time goes by, the flowers started to bloom more and more and their relationship went from Iraq to Paris. "I’m glad I did that", he said to himself. Out of the blue he thought of what he asked the lady before if it will last long…

Suddenly the flowers showed signs of aging, even a pail of water wouldn’t help. Time to said goodbye… "I’ll buy another one", he ecstatically replied. She replied with a sweet smile.

But then again it was too late. By the night falls, it went bitter again. The flowers saved him just for a couple of weeks. It’s the time for regret once again. He didn’t know that the reconciliation would last the same as of the flowers he gave.

If only he knew he would have chosen the artificial one, it would have gone longer.

Disappointed? well maybe next time i’ll try to make it a happy ending. Long time no blog. just sharing one of my old photo in my collection and making a story out of it. You see, a photographer needs a deep inspiration to capture a good photograph. Well, maybe it’s a bad crop but the story behind it…. Can’t take that away.

Flowers, how beautiful they are… They will still die. But with proper caring they can last long. Consistent love…. It will be forever.
