flowers

 i read a quote that said "one day you'll meet a boy...who will learn you favorite flower"

ugh. flowers.

sometimes i could throttle my oldest nephew. he's so much like a little brother. i love him to death, but he talks to me like an adult and i don't like it. who told him he could have an opinion? 

i wouldn't really. i adore him. but sometimes he says stuff i don't like...that's also stuff that's kinda true. after my first relationship ended he told me "the right one will bring you flowers" 

and when i got neck deep in with this last one, and flowers never came, i thought it didn't matter. the ring he gave me had a flower etched into it. that was enough, right?

"but he never gave you flowers"

ouch. ok punk. you were right. the right one will bring me flowers. 

it's such a simple thing. why couldn't i have just listened to him the first time?

cos it seemed so silly. but he was right. he's known long before me who was and wasn't gonna be around. 

one day, some boy is gonna learn my favorite flowers...and then bring them to me. and i truly believe, if he don't, he ain't the one.
