The Story of the Buried Heart

There once was a girl who fell in love with a boy.  She knew the boy did not see her and she didn’t mind.  She was happy to watch over him from afar.  But then came a time when she could no longer watch over him.  Her tears fell and her heart ached.  In an attempt to keep her heart from breaking she buried her heart under a tree.  Until there came a time when she could return and reclaim her heart.  There her heart grew unnoticed by the boy, although he walked by it everyday.
Years later when the girl had become a woman she returned to reclaim her heart.  But when she dug where the heart had been she found she could not take the heart from where it rested.  For in the years that had passed the tree her heart was buried beneath had grown and its roots had surrounded the heart.  There was no way to retrieve the heart without ripping it.  So she left it there and to this day her heart has not been moved by any man although many have tried.
