You will never know how much I need you- Brian Nguyen

Dear Planting Pot,

                You will never know how much I need you. You are the foundation of the air I breath. You hold the roots of plants that give me life. You nourish the seedlings that give me nutrients. You may be called descriptions like basic, simple, and boring, but you nonetheless do the job every time without fail. Additionally, you contain the water which feeds my plants. I will continually rendezvous with you to measure and check up on the health of my plants. However, our passionate affection can only be a temporary fling. I must say goodbye to you when my plants get too big, needing to be transplanted to the true earth in order to prosper.

Do not get me wrong. It is not because I have stopped loving you. It is just because the plant’s roots can only grow in a larger space. It is for the best. I would never want the roots to puncture and hurt you.  Do not worry, I will never forget you for protecting and taking care of my hatchlings.  

                I am back once again to ask for your devotion. I know I am selfish but you have never let me down, I need your tender touch and caring nature. You are always there for me no matter what plant I decide to grow. I cherish you because you do not discriminate against seeds or species. You are the mother of my creations. You accept my plants for who they are, providing them a shelter until they grow up. You please me no matter what I need at the time, whether tall and slender or shallow and wide.

                I know others take you for granted but not I. Every time we bid adieu, I know our infatuation strengthens. You will never know how much I need you.

Sincerely,

Brian Nguyen
