I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER

Melanie Wick Singer

149 words


Most of the time, she was alone.

It had always been that way.

Being alone gave her a chance to see the world.

But there came a time when seeing the world wasn't enough.

She was ready for more.


Finding a friend wasn't as easy as she thought.

It went well at first, but then...

she'd get swept up in the moment.

"I'll love you forever!" she'd cry out.

"It's too much, too fast," everyone said,

practically looking right through her.

People can be so hard to please.

The more desperate she was,

the more she pushed them away.


But everything changed one spring day,

when the desperate Wind

looked up at the sky.

Like all the times before,

she got swept up in the moment.

"I'll love you forever!" the Wind cried out.

But this time the answer was different:

"I sure hope so," whispered the Kite.
