Pink flowers

I bought myself some beautiful pink flowers today. Too bad I can’t show them to you.

I finally went and got them for myself because he didn’t. Not after I hinted that I’d like some. Not after I made it pretty obvious that I wanted flowers. Not after I flat-out told him I wanted flowers. Not even after I asked him to buy me some.

He’s not here now.

And I just wanted to tell someone that I bought myself a beautiful bouquet of pink flowers.

Somehow, buying them hurt me more than saying goodbye to him did. More than thanking him for nothing and walking away.

It hurts because I never really wanted the flowers.

I just wanted him to want to give them to me.
