Just when winter feels like it will never end suddenly  the lilac blooms and you know that spring is here. The lilac flower is associated with one's first love or the first time one feels love for someone else. 
As the intoxicating scent surrounds her this fairy aches with nostalgic memories of her first romance For anyone who has loved and lost, the longing  to have it back  can be overwhelming but take comfort in knowing that what you had was something so very precious and it lives on inside your heart
