Their love was like the love of water lilies floating along in a river on a warm summer’s night. The glistening of the moon symbolized their passion. The reflection of the stars on the mysterious, yet beautiful, river was mirrored in such a way where they became one with love. Suddenly, the stars and the moon are covered with a shadow. Like a hush slowly spreading over top of the river, the reflection was gone. Thunder and lightning replaced the peace and calm. The crackling of falling branches crash on the love of the water lilies, destroying what once belonged to the warm summer’s night.
