Death and Life

Death fell in love with Life; and Life grew very interested in Death.

They were so similar that they often saw each other in the mirror. And Death longed for Life, but it had nothing to give to Life.

And Death wished to be alive - for Life was so colourful, and beautiful, and Death was mourning every time.

How could Death be other than Death, if it could not be other than what it was intended?

Death then mourned again, for it could not change.

Life saw the mourning in Death, and sent it gifts. Day after day, Life sent to Death someone new; and Death kept them forever.

They could not change their nature.
