Petals Pressed Between Pages

New love is very much like the first bloom of a flower. Not every bloom will result in the plant becoming a strong one that will not only last for many years but constantly filled with new and beautiful blooms.

Sometimes, you'll come across a bloom in the most unlikely of places, such as a crack in the sidewalk or side of a wall. Its always a pleasant surprise, but that plant is not going to survive there. The conditions were just right for it to take root and bloom, but its going to die unless its moved.

Sometimes you can successfully replant it in a place where it will get enough sun, water and have room to grow. Its tricky, but can be done.

Then, sometimes you know its going to die soon because it can't be moved. You can enjoy it as long as it's going to last, but it will be gone.
