You

You

I looked for you in the window of the tiny egg that Melanie gave me. She said that if I planted it in the back yard and watered it every day, a tree would grow, and when it blossomed, the scent would remind me of you. 

When the tree grew, the trunk was too slender for me to wrap my arms around. I reached up into the branches and your leaves brushed my face.
