Scarecrow Love

Scarecrow Love

One hot summer day in Idaho in the middle of a corn field stood a scarecrow named Sawyer. Sawyer only had friends who were birds, but the problem with birds they have to fly South for the Winter and they never come back. So in the middle of a hot summer day he just stood looking into the sun waiting for something to happen. All of a sudden three birds flew right on his shoulder. Maria , Sammy, and Susie, Maria was a beautiful, perfect black bird who was the same age as Sawyer. Sammy and Susie were Maria's parents, they were very nice birds. Sawyer thought that Maria was as pretty as the moon shining on a Fall night. You could pretty say it was love at first sight for Sawyer but the thing was it wasn't love at first sight for Maria.

Since the day Maria landed on Sawyer's shoulder he was in love with her. They spent the whole summer together and became really close friends. Whenever Sawyer was around Maria he felt butterflies in his stomach, he was just so deeply in love with her. Maria didn't even know what love really meant. Maria thought Sawyer was just a really sweet scarecrow who was just trying to make her have a good time in Idaho. Maria only saw Sawyer as a very good friend. The only people she had ever loved were her parents. Sawyer thought maybe Maria loved him but then he knew a bird could never love a scarecrow.

It was two days before Maria and her parents had to fly South for Winter. Sawyer knew that he would never see Maria since he had never seen his other friends he met over the past summers. He was just going to tell her how he felt about her and was going to be completely honest with her. So Sawyer went searching for Maria and found her eating some worms from the cold, wet dirt. As he found her he told her he needed to talk to her, He said,

"Maria, over this past summer we have spent everyday together and honestly the first time I saw you I fell in love with you, and I would really like to know how you feel about me." As Sawyer was saying this Maria started chocking on her worm, she was so surprised. "Sawyer, I feel like you are a brother to me and I know we will most likely never see each other again but you have been the nicest person to me and I love you but in a brother and sister way." Maria told him. When Sawyer heard this his heart broke in half he thought he was going to die from such pain. Over the next two days Sawyer didn't talk to Maria, he wouldn't even look at her.

The day came when she had to leave so she hopped right on Sawyer's shoulder and said,

"I love you Sawyer, I hope I get to see you in the future, if you ever get lonely just think of me." After she said that she gave him a giant kiss on the cheek and flew away. Sawyer
