The wind blew me off, far away from my tree,
I brushed past his feet and he decided to pick me.
I had been longing to be cherished for my beauty in a vase,
Tomorrow I would wilt, and the vase could be my saving grace.
He held me instead and paused for a while,
And remembered someone with a melancholic smile.
I had no means to know about his sad story,
The morning sun was shining in all it's glory,
Didn't have much time, I was starting to shrink,
While the stranger held me and continued to think.
He took out his phone and clicked my picture,
Then stared at me and realized how much he missed her,
If she were with him, I would not need a vase,
I would be adorned behind her ear, lighting up her face.
Brushing off that thought, he posted me online,
Fifty likes instantly, I was looking so fine,
More love to come, I was about to become a celebrity,
Grateful to my savior, my unexpected serendipity!
Hundred likes and loves in a span of seven minutes,
Immortalized forever, my joy had no limits.
I still had few hours left, now I would die with pride,
Web of expectations peaking as if I was my rescuer's bride,
Secretly I still wanted to be taken to his home,
Who in this world would want to die alone?
Just then.. he tossed me back to the ground,
I landed with a heavy heart just where I was found,
Had been longing to be cherished for my beauty in a vase,
Today I would be crushed with all my feelings out of place.
He was not who I deduced him to be,
He just wanted to click a pink frangipani.
