The Perfect Tree

In a certain village of a certain country there was an orchard... Many mango trees were there, have you seen them growing together?!?
They send a sense of happiness around them... They have these perfect leaves and these perfect barks and they give these perfect shades when sunlight fall over them...
There was this tree... They called it the perfect one... It was not too tall not too short... Perfectly symmetrical and perfectly bloomed... Dare a single leaf would grow out of that tree's way... The bark's girth was proportionate to the circumference of the whole tree...
People would look at tha tree and hold their breath and say, "Ah! the perfect tree"
And when the season change and little flowers bloom and they spread the colour of dew all over that tree... But still there would be no breech in its symmetry... That tree knew how to look perfect. And when those flowers mature into mangoes, whole of the tree would look like a giant lamp post holding many bulbs... Bright green first and then yellow... And never does the beauty of the tree would be undone... People would stare at that tree and say, "That's a perfect tree"

There was another tree in the same orchard. Nobody looked at it, though it was not all sculpted by God in a perfect shape, but it was one with all the qualities we seek in a mango tree.
It was tall but a few branches were grown here and there with no symmetry, kids would climb over that tree through those branches and reach the top of the tree without any difficulty... The mangoes it offers were sweetest of all, though when they would bloom the branches would bend low because of its weight,
It's bark was irregularly grown... Thick at some places and thin at some, infact there was a gaping hole at the base, nobody cared about it cause you know the mangoes were great, kids use that to hide when they play hide and seek.
That tree also offered the best it could... A thick shade, delicious mangoes and a place for kids to play...
Nobody looked at it...
Nobody payed attention to it...
Nobody called it perfect...

If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more...

Sometimes you seem like an illusion that my brain has designed, unreal, imaginary… how can I like someone this much, without never ever prop...
