Once upon a time...
1:02:03
there was a quiet,
bookish girl who wrote poetry.

1:02:07
She didn't believe in God...
1:02:10
or her parents,
or the other girls that followed her.

1:02:14
So she tried very hard to believe in herself.
1:02:19
That was easy for a while,
until something terrible happened...

1:02:24
and everybody left her.
1:02:27
The loneliness became unbearable.
1:02:30
She contemplated putting an end to it all.
1:02:35
One day, she discovered
someone loved her.

1:02:40
Some tender man sent her a poem
accompanied by flowers.

1:02:47
And he continued to send her flowers
periodically and anonymously...

1:02:50
for many years.
1:02:53
They always seemed to arrive
just when she needed them most.

1:02:59
For 15 years, this women has grown
as a poet and a diarist...

1:03:03
and she keeps his flowers pressed
and dated in glass...

1:03:07
in a treasure chest in her bedroom.
1:03:10
She speculated on her dream lover...
1:03:14
but never tried to figure out
who he really was.

1:03:18
She's taken his anonymous tribute
to her heart...

1:03:21
and decided to reciprocate his anonymity
by keeping her diaries private forever.

1:03:29
The moral of the story is...
1:03:31
there's a vast difference between
being alone and being lonely.

1:03:37
And she, no longer lonely...
1:03:41
knows that difference.
1:03:49
It almost makes you want to believe in God,
doesn't it?
