YOU

ROSES

i was at the library,
reading a book that i found somewhat interesting.

i was too engrossed with the book that i didn't even notice you were there beside me with roses in your hand.

you tapped my shoulder, and for a moment, i got scared.

but then i saw that it was you.

you said hey and i said it back, with a small smile.

then i noticed the roses in your hands.

i asked, 'who's that for?'

and you grinned and handed me the roses, 'it's for you.'

i was confused, why?

how did he know i like roses?

'i always see you doodling roses on your notebook,

so i thought that i should buy you some.' you explained to me.

i felt like i was about to cry that time because,

that was the first time someone has given me roses.

i hugged you and said thank you,

and surprisingly,

you hugged back.
