Taught by a tree

And we just stood completely still - and we simply lived. I read about the tree that stood in front of us, and I just thought to myself how life would be if I were a tree, if I were that tree.

Even though it is far from the others, it is probably always overlooked. Even though it is given space to shine, it just can't shine bright enough to get people to notice. In that moment I was that tree, and I was lonely and sick and tired. I just wanted to do something elaborate and be more than just alive, even though alive is more than I could ever ask for. I wanted to live in the most extravagant sense of the word and I wanted to be young and have a day to relive the day I lost you.
