Teardrops

 

Once upon a time there was a little mouse who was in love with a beautiful red rose.

Her beauty and grace were nothing like anything he had seen before, so he would spend hours by just looking at her gentle leaves and wishing he could just hold her, even for a second. He was madly in love, but even so, he never had the courage to come any closer to her. He thought he didn’t stand a chance with such a perfection.

The rose however, burned from desire to meet the little mouse. She could always feel his stare on her back and every time she caught a glimpse of his eyes, she could tell they were so sweet and filled with love and honesty. The rose felt as nothing and nobody could harm her when he was around.

They were both crazy for each other. Their love was so pure and unlike anything else in the world.

But one day the little mouse didn’t find his red rose. The spot where she stood so still and gracefully before was empty. She was gone.Two big watery drops stumbled down the mouse’s face and fell down on the ground. His heart was broken into million pieces and the love he felt for his lost rose was now stronger than ever before. In fact, it was so strong that his little heart couldn’t handle the tragedy. The mouse didn’t live to see another sunset.

Months later, two flowers appeared from the ground on the same spot where the teardrops fell. They grew into two red beauties, who lived on to tell the story of the little mouse who loved a red rose.
