tulip st. 98

In our garden, right next to my window, there is a huge, yellow-flowered tree, the branches had always swung as if they were saying 'hello', until one time the tree actually did it... With his own voice.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Hello, princess”, he said, and my five year old self could not do anything else than smile brightly and greet the tree back, “Hello, yellow tree”, I said. And since then, we've been really good friends.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Princess Mei! You bath is–, princess! Oh my god!”, Mei happily waves the maid as she goes down to the garden sitting on a branch.
“I've got things to do, miss Adeline, I'll be back in an hour!”... or maybe three.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
The tree would raise its branches as high as possible for me to see across the kingdom, I would often ask him for directions to certain places my mother would never let me go to. Nobody would belive how much a tree could extender their roots underground, Yellow would normally ask his friends around for news and gossip, just for the sake of my curiosity (and the maids' too).
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
“Princess, Apple Tree in the farm said that the family is definitely having a new baby, but it's not the husband's baby...”, the maids would then start murmuring among themselves and I, confused, would say stuff like: “Well, of course it's not the husband's! The wife will birth the baby!”.
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Oh, sweet innocence.

In my tea party, I'll pour a cup of my warmest love for you and I'll give you the sweetest bits of me.

The green curtains in our living room make the whole place seem like a fairytale, a yellowish daylight peeking through them; my mom's smile is dreamy, she kindly rubs my dad's back while he's asleep on the sofa and I wonder... Is this how true love looks like? A soft lighted home and back rubs?
