    I met him by chance. I was at the supermarket, just a normal day.
    He was surrounded by many others that looked like him, but he was special. I can honestly say he gained my heart with his perfect smile.

    I asked his name. "Melon", he answered with the deepest, sexiest voice I had ever heard.
    "Melon", I repeated, savoring the sound with my palate... Oh, Melon... Lovely luscious lips, lively smile and luring complexion. I love you.
    I took him home. We talked and laughed over a few beers.

    3F8Zk.jpg

    It was getting late, so I invited him to bed. I shall keep you guys from torrid details, but I knew we were meant to be when I woke up and saw him there, smiling affectionately at me.

    We spent the best days of our lives together. We had fun at the pool, and he'd sing while I played. I was imprinted with the deepest sense of compatibility.

    But one thing was starting to make me lose my nights. Melon was aging so much faster than me... I shared my concerns with him. He didn't have much energy to follow me around with my shenanigans anymore.

    3F971.jpg

    He surprised me one morning with a tired kiss. He looked deeply into my eyes and said: "Honey, you'll have to eat me". I understood immediately.
    Melon's days were close to an end. If I wanted to keep part of him eternally sheltered inside me, I'd have to eat him. So I made it clean and fast, and apologised with teary eyes.

    So I ate him. Entirely, at once, with a spoon.

    There was nothing left of Melon but the shell that once contained the sweet soul of my lover. An empty body. A void that matched that one in my heart.

    3F9c9.jpg

    Melon always told me he grew up in a farm, where he could roll around in the fresh soil all day with his siblings. "From soil, to soil", I thought. Shall your cycle be complete, honeydew.

    How beautiful. i hope one day to have a fruit affair to remember.

    An epic love story. Thank you for sharing. I truly believe there is more than one melon out there for each of us. Someday, somewhere, you'll find another.

    :cry:

    I hope time eases your pain.

    The hardest part was logging an entire melon into my diary :cry:

    Industrial engineering, actually. Though I know my art abilities are fantastic. Just look at how perfectly I drew his face.

    You did what you had to. If only all relationships could end do cleanly and deliciously.

    Perhaps to honor him with more beers of remembrance you can hold a vigil at a karaoke bar. Sing something special just for him- Seasons in the Sun, I will Always Love You, or that Titanic song. I suggest avoiding Smashing Pumpkins or Blind Melon as it sends a mixed message.

    You continue to touch the hearts of so many readers by sharing your pain in pictures and words. You are the Taylor Swift of MFP, I hope that you one day find your perfect fruit to be happy with...but again, that was one lucky melon!

    I had a similar experience with a chilli.

    Still have the mixtape I made to get over him.

    His children were delicious.
