There's always one.
You could be happily married with 4 kids, 2 dogs a big mansion with a jacuzzi and trampoline and there'd still be one. And despite your best efforts to completely eradicate any thought, memory or hope of them - they just won't leave.
"You're the snake hidden in my daffodils when I'm picking flowers" - All Time Low.
The flowers represent everything you've ever wanted, our whole lives we spend numerous hours conjuring up a figure of perfection that we want as our own. When that day finally arrives in it all it's glory, lighting up our hearts up like lanterns in the sky - we find ourselves frowning internally for the figure we didn't desire - the snake. All those days we spent wasting perfectly good tears and minutes created for happiness pouring our deepest emotions into these worthless, time-consuming relationships - to finally realize that we do deserve better. That we need to stop looking below us for fish when the ocean goes on for miles. And when we finally do get the courage to swim away and start picking those flowers, we find our minds constantly referring back to the one.
Maybe it's the memories that were formed that we miss so dearly?
Or the daily routine that's thrown our lives into a crazy whirlpool without it?
Or maybe just maybe...we were in "love" with the opposite - which is often true.
How to overcome this - we can't.
Speaking as an individual who is a long-term relationship with that dream figure flower she picked, my mind still wanders sometimes. It's not something that we can forget so easily, it's not something we can control as much as we can control the weather for our desires. I've learnt that - you're never going to stop wanting to see that snake when you're picking flowers. Not because you want the past to be present, or you want them as much as the next, but because somewhere deep inside, yeah, you loved them.
And they have unconventionally formed a part of the puzzle that completes you.
Just remember that - you can be happy again. Happiness all starts with you and was the lack of happiness from the snake worth the pain it brought too? Always remember - but never give into the snake - there is a reason they're not your flower sweetie.
