Inevitably rubbing shoulders with someone

There is an unknown plant under the window sill that is said to be the same age as me. The former tenant entrusted it to me and asked me to take good care of it, but I often forgot its existence and didn't even give it a drink of water for more than ten days. In that winter, its long leaves rustled almost completely, and it looked like a pitiful tramp. When I finally remembered it, the soil under its feet was dry and cracked, and I felt extremely guilty. I poured a whole pot of water on it like a remedy. I thought it would not live long under this kind of torment, but who knows that it will stubbornly pull out new leaves in the spring of the next year, and now it will sing cheerful songs every day under the wind blowing under my window.

It was moved from a friend by a former tenant. I have heard a little about their stories. It is nothing more than that girl has a boyfriend, guy and a wife, but they can't suppress their goodwill. Girl plays the piano well. Guy has a lot of research on classical literature. Sometimes Together they cycled out into the suburban forest, sometimes hiding in the kitchenette and chatting about music and poetry. I have feelings but I never speak, unless the girl bursts out with some unrealistic thoughts and I remind her not to cross the line.

You know that there are too many stories like this, there is no need to guess the ending, only very few people can give up everything for love, there are so many realistic things to consider that it is hard for me to believe that two men and women who are tied to each other will eventually break through all happiness Earth together, even fairy tales are not happy to write like this, let alone reality.

It's just an unexpected encounter in our life. After a short meeting, we must get back on track. Because we are no longer young and understand that we can't do whatever we want, we are destined to pass by some people, even if we are very eager, even if we love very much.

In the story of "Once", a piano is left, and in the story of my girl and guy, there is a silly plant that only knows how to grow wildly.
