(the Child's thoughts)
you're the first one i've ever loved...
n' so i love you so much...
but i don't know how to show you my love...
what do i have to do to make you happy...
the child asked the cactus...
i just... want to be hugged... by someone... by anyone...
said the cactus with a light smile...
really? is that really all? will you be happy then?
the child slowly walked to the cactus n' hugged it...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(the cactus's thoughts)
someone please pull this child away...
he's getting pricked by all my thorns...
the more i try to push him away... the more my thorns get stuck in his body....
his clothes are drenched in blood...
the amount of happiness this brings me... it gives me twice the amount of pain...
someone please pull this child away...
please pull out all the thorns... n' take care of him
im afraid that i'll end up killing him...
someone please pull this child away...
--------------------------------------------------------------
(thoughts of the child)
the cactus still won't give me a smile...
i don't know how to love or to show love...
to me... love hurts so much...
n' so im hugging it harder n' closer...
but it still won't smile...
won't smile...
won't smile...
-----------------------------------------------------------
the child is hugging the cactus...
n' will continue holding it...
closer n' closer...
till it gives a smile...
