It was the first day of a new hour that had brought forth a new creature. Like all young ones, it was at first nothing but a fragile wrinkle. Non the less. You took care of it, as well as it's demanding needs.
Years past but for You it felt like days. The creature was beginning high school. It started to worry and stay up late, but still. You stood there giving it consultations. seemingly everything was fine.

Now it was time for the creature to graduate, bearly making it through as if there was more then just not understanding everything other then the point. You still sat there and gave consultations as well as lectures.
Then the creature moved on to start a life by itself. Suddenly all the emotions rushed in as though you were stabbed in the heart . All the years turned to memories.

Now you live alone with your special someone, the creature still calls you every now and then. Now you realise there was everything but a point.
