Not too long ago, 
In a not too far away land,
There lived a creature.

He was not nice looking,
Nor was he multi talented.

He lived a life which consisted of other normal creature friends.
He had no best friend,
And so he didn't know what it feels like to have one.

On a brand new year,
He started his day with a stroll to the forest,
And he met a beautiful fairy,
She had eyes that could charm anything,
She had a body that would make peacocks jealous,
She had a smile that would make a wilt flower bloom once more,
She reached her hand to the creature,
And they started a friendship.


Everyday, 
They would meet everyday under the largest tree in the forest,
They would talk about everything,
Finally,
The creature knew how it felt to have a best friend,
He was rejoiced.

As the days passed,
The creature had a weird feeling towards the fairy,
It was a strange feeling,
Yet,
It was a strong feeling.
He didn't know what was that feeling.

Slowly, 
He found out that the feeling was,
Indeed,
Love.

Afraid to lose the friendship they had,
The creature kept quiet.
His feelings were hidden in the darkest corner of his heart.
It was painful for him, 
He didn't like to hide it,
Yet,
He did,
For the sake of the friendship.

A spring, summer, autumn, winter went pass.
It was another spring, 
It has been a year, 
Since they met for the first time.

For some reason,
The amount times they get to meet,
Decreased.

Afraid that they would slowly stop meeting each other,
The creature decided that it was time to tell the fairy,
And so he told.



The fairy refused to accept his love.


He was angry,
While sad at the same time,
He never felt this sad before,
And so they had a quarrel, 
The fairy never appeared, 
Ever again.

The creature regretted,
He hated himself for how he acted,
How he reacted,
He wanted to say sorry,
For everything,
He yelled out under the tree to say how he was sorry,
How he regretted,
But still,
The fairy wouldn't appear.

Another spring, summer, autumn and winter past.

On a normal day like other,
The fairy appeared,
The two met, 
And they became friends again,
Forgetting about what happened.

Again, 
They met every day,
Under the ancient tree,
Just like the old days,
They talked about everything.
For a few weeks,
The creature tried his very best to be in his best attitude,
Tried the very best to make their friendship last,
Because he was really scared that what happened will happen again.
He really tried his best,
Waiting under the tree everyday to meet her.

Despite his effort,
The girl started to appear less and less,
He wouldn't ask her,
For he was afraid that it would make her irritated,
He was crying inside,
While smiling outside.

Although the fairy rarely appears anymore,
He made a decision,
To wait for her everyday, 
And cherish the time with her when she appears,
That is the only way the creature can think of.
And that is the only thing the creature can do.

Until now,
The creature still waits under the ancient tree everyday.
