Tears are slowly rolling down
Flora was busy sewing a sheet and was far away with her thoughts.
It was already late but she didn't even notice the time
A simple girl without titles, jewels or a crown
She was plain in many people their eyes; her hair was brown with lighter shades in the front which was the cause that people thought of her as odd. She never wore expensive jewels and she had no title like others.
Yet she loved him with everything she had
Still…she loved Helia very much; she cared about him for who he is deep down in his heart.
The pain inside her heart was driving her mad
She stopped with her work for a moment and breathed deep but the pain in her heart wouldn't go away the slightest.
Her 1st and only love
Helia was the 1st man she fell in love with and the only one she will ever love.
There was no space for another man in her life than Helia Vallisto
Her personal angel, send from above
He was really like her personal angel send by God when she needed one very much
No one knows her heart like he does
Helia saw past everything and knew what her heart felt
No one understands her better than him.
Helia always understood her and even if he didn't he always tried to
His kind words
Like a bird
Spreading peace to her mind
His gentle words whenever he spoke to her were as symbolic as the bird of the stories in the bible that brought peace.
Everyone saw the smile and never looked behind
Flora always smiled her sunny smile and people just saw that smile but never the reason behind the smile or asking themselves if that smile was honest or a façade
He did and saw her pain
Helia saw past the smile and saw how hurt and traumatized Flora actually was.
His encouraging words were the best praise she could gain
Whenever Flora tried something people just snarled at her but Helia always encouraged her to try everything she wanted and could and his words were worth more than any price she could earn.
So far away yet so nearby
He was oceans away but in her heart he was next to her; every minute of the day.
Never thought of giving it a try
The thought of telling him she loves him never struck her for she was too shy
She believes in him like no one else can do
Whenever people doubted the chances Helia took in business Flora was there to believe in him like no one did since his mum died.
Her love for him, so honest it makes her feel blue
She loved him so much that people thought of her as a depressed insane person
Another tear rolls down
On her old night gown
Unnoticed by her another tear escaped and fell on her favourite floral nightgown that was already very old.
Now she closes her eyes
Remembering his words encouraging and wise
Flora sighed and put her work away and closed her eyes. It was like she heard his words again: "You can do whatever you want to, Flora. You'll know what to do and I'll always believe in you."
And another tear falls before she dreams
Happy dreams of the one she loves
Another tear escapes and falls on her pillow before she drifts off to sleep into the world of dreams. Joyful dreams of Helia.
