30,000 Flowers Chandelier-or-a dinner invitation opened a door that though fleetingly ajar, beheld bright, bright light-or-The Bright Side

'Maybe I will stay tonight?' she said.
-I plucked 10,000 mums, 10,000 roses and 10,000 dandelion puffs, for a joy such simple words created. I strung them together blossom to stem, alternating the three type's 30,000 times, in the end the resembled a chandelier of flowers.-
'Oh, please stay!' Was how the chandelier sounded to her, such things are easy to hear, but so hard to see.

I had to work,the harbinger had sung,the door of chance flew shut and I knew it.

'I'm sorry I got everyones hope's up.' she said.'Everyone?' I said. 'I'm only one person.''You're everyone in this room,' she said 'Everyone that matters.'
-I took a wooden match and struck it a handmade cabinet. I used the flame to ignite the chandelier. Dreams like that can only last so long. In a blaze that could be seen from her vantage point on the moon, 10,000 mums, 10,000 roses and 10,000 dandelion puffs, burned to ashes.-
'Don't worry about it I said, be logical,' I said 'I'm fine.'
-I hate fiercely that I can't change tides with my thought's, I thought. Don't go to the moon yet, stay near the fire pit one more night. I stared at the dying ember's of the chandelier and tried to look tough, it's not hard to look tough when you stare at fire.-

We danced to see-saw rhythms:coalesce,amalgamate,mating chimeras,earth and fire,coal and forge.

'I'm euphoric,' she said 'I feel completely satisfied.'
-I don't, I thought. You opened a door that beheld bright, bright light and didn't let me walk through it. I am selfish when it comes to light like that!-
'Good.' I said. 'I'm glad.' And I was. For it seems regardless of my wants and needs, her being satisfied makes me glad. I only wish that my temper didn't make me to burn that chandelier of flowers. I wish she could have seen it.
