Let me tell you a story about a girl,who collected flowers,not because she liked them,but because she saw someone in them,they reminded her of someone.
And one day,on her journey to collect more of them,she came to know that all the flowers have died, because autumn has arrived.
Devastated and full of sorrow,the girl tried to end her life,because she didn't have a reason to live now as she wasn't able to see the one she loved in the essence of those flowers.
But when she was so close to end her life,she saw a bud on one of her favorite tree.A new hope bloomed in her heart and she decided not to die,but to live,and wait for the spring,that would bring new flowers to her,the rememberance of her lover.
So she kept on waiting and waiting over the dried,orange leaves and then on the pile of the cold snow.But flowers never arrived and she got old.
Unable to see the flowers that make her remember her love,the poor girl died,not because she was old,but because her heart was broken.

When the news of this intense love reached the Sky,The Angels begged the God to do something so that her waiting should never be forgotten.
God created another season,and called it Spring,shifted it between winters and summers,so that those who are heartbroken and devastated by the cold of winter,should have a little of happiness by looking at these flowers,remembering their loved ones,those they lost and those who left them.
