Not if, but when?

I have become a cactus. I survive only from the nutrition of stored memories to maintain the standoffish presence that others have slowly grown accustomed. A drought has occurred in my life which has lead me to transform myself from a flower, which thrived and blossomed beyond my own expectation from constant attention and care, to a succulent, who relies on nothing more than a sparse watering and depending on nothing more than what I have stored up to exist. The cause and duration of the drought is unknown. Although my strengths and memories will allow me to endure, I do truly miss my gardener.
