The end

The smell of the trees, the calmness in her eyes, everything was perfect on that happy and cold September afternoon. But somehow, the fairy has this power of getting obsessed with her songs and ruin things a little bit. Her feelings about the sunflower should be a secret, a secret she was not able to keep.

Without using the specific words, without saying “I am in love with you”, she revealed everything to her, without saying that it was her. It can be confusing to understand, but in the end, even with codes and not saying her name, the fairy felt she was obvious. The sunflower then started to give advice to help the fairy to forget about that “mysterious” woman. Her floor opened deep, she could not feel her body and her thoughts started to be confused.

Does she know? Was that a polite way to dump her? The fairy began to see everything blurry and her heart was in her throat. She wanted to run away from that conversation, she did not want to cry or show more weakness than she had already shown. The fairy said thanks to the sunflower and got away from her as soon as she could. 

After that, while she walked really fast through the streets of Marburg, she could feel the heavy tears falling on her scarf and shirt. She sat on the bench that the sunflower introduced to her. That is such a special place for the fairy. There she stared at the river and cried for half an hour. Tears of despair, sadness, confusion, disillusionment, panic and lack of self respect.

The river was there, the trees and the feeling that she met an amazing girl that will never be with her too. But now nothing regarding this story matters. Now is the time to face the truth, to break the spell she put on herself and be braver. She is a courageous woman, isn’t she? So she will fulfill her role in this path she made for herself in this country for the last months.

A new fairy had become and she is not giving up of happiness because of one small failure. She will keep the sunflower in her heart as a kind friend who gave her good moments. She will put this love on another shelf and move on to the next sunset. There is got to be one new horizon with an even more interesting person, that will be available and maybe even nicer.

Only time will tell. For now, she says “goodbye, sunflower, you were the best you could be”.
