the leaf and the tree

Once upon a time, there was a leaf that stuck to a tree for a long time. The leaf did not leave as it felt secure being with the tree, with other leaves around. The leaf did not know if the tree wanted the leaf around. But the tree did not shake the leaf off and both were always together.

Then a gentle breeze came by, the leaf moved, but still hung on to the tree. The breeze soon turned into a strong wind and the leaf was torn in between flying off, or sticking with the tree. The tree never did anything, it just stayed there as always.

The leaf finally decided to fly away together with the wind. The wind is strong and together they are flying high. The leaf will not look back, while the tree is still where it was, a silent testimony of the times they shared together

its time to move on,
regrettable as may be;
its been far too long.
