Pink gerberas

Okay, I am quite fond of them. Specifically those in shades of pink.
I wonder what else could make me smile all alone on a Valentine's eve!!

I missed him all day. That's what I have done on couple of past V'days too. The long distances in the relationships really suck big time!

When the courier arrived, it was a mix of decaying grasses and stale gerberas. To add to the frustration was a note with terrible handwriting and spelling mistakes. My heart ached to see how the online florists completely spoiled my sweetheart's wish to express his love. I felt like walking up to the concerned florists and catching them by collar. But violence is not the solution, I realized. Certainly not on a day like today. So, I opened the bouquet, clipped the ends of the flowers, sprinkled water and put them in a vase.

Now, I love the sight of the fresh, pink gerberas lying on my table. The staleness has left my heart.



I do miss his petite and beautiful handwriting on the card, but I'm content with his message. We'll surely make each moment special once we are together.

Sweetheart, I love you too.
