_{You'll find her hiding under a moss-stained rock, singing love-song lullabies to sparrows. She'll be covered in rags, but for her natural beauty it might as well be silk. You'll learn to love her nasty streak, and weather the storm until it's passed.

She'll cry tears of anger when you tell her it's too late, and the fragile creature cradled in her arms is too far gone. You'll sigh in exasperation and cradle them both in your arms, and you'll hush her until the gasping tears have subsided. She'll laugh with you the next day when she's tending something new, but when your back is turned she'll let silent drops fall into her patient's fur.

You'll take her away for a day, and you'll burn with jealousy at the looks pouring over her. She'll laugh at your antics and never see any of them, but she'll have a niggling sense of absence when you pull her past the maître d'. You'll watch her fiddle with the cotton hem, and you'll wonder if she'll ever fit into your world.

She'll roll and tumble back into the wilderness, laughing all the while. You'll stand and stare and blush when she doesn't tell you to turn around. She'll look you right in the eye and ask you if and when you have to go.

You'll hold her gaze for a fraction of a second then utter a whispered "goodbye" as you turn to leave. She'll watch you as you go and pray to her own personal god that you turn around. You'll trip over a fallen branch and crawl back into her arms.

She'll laugh and croon at you and wrap your head in the cotton she didn't feel comfortable in. You'll hold her hand as you fall asleep and whilst you sleep you'll snore and talk about why you didn't want to leave. She'll listen to your words with a smile on her face and your fingers interlaced.}

This was written with a spur of imagination, and I have no idea how or where it came from, but I somehow like it.
