"Of course I love you," the flower said to him. "It is my fault that you have not known it all the while. That is of no importance. But you-- you have been just as foolish as I. Try to be happy… let the glass globe be. I don't want it any more."
"But the wind--"
"My cold is not so bad as all that… the cool night air will do me good. I am a flower."
"But the animals--"
"Well, I must endure the presence of two or three caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with the butterflies. It seems that they are very beautiful. And if not the butterflies-- and the caterpillars-- who will call upon me? You will be far away… as for the large animals-- I am not at all afraid of any of them. I have my claws."
And, naively, she showed her four thorns. Then she added:
"Don't linger like this. You have decided to go away. Now go!"
For she did not want him to see her crying. She was such a proud flower…
这一款合适你：You smiled and talked to me of nothing and I felt that for this I had been waiting long.
你微微一笑，
却一言不发，
而这于我而言，
仿佛期许已久。
What can i do for you is just let you go
很多事就是这样。
她不想他看见她的泪水，
毕竟她是一朵多么骄傲的花啊。
