We had it all planned. Aramis smirked at the idea.

“You GENIUS!!” he chuckled

“How did you come up with an idea like this?

"Well it so happens I also have ideas like this my friend.  You’re not the only one.." I said

“Surprisingly… its very cool.” He said

“Why, Thank You.” I replied

I checked the clock.  Ughh I still had lots of time left.  I told Aramis to get ready, we would go shopping for supplies needed.  Hopefully it would all go well.  I also hoped I would get the answer I wanted.  In 20 minutes we were on the street.  Looking for the perfect flower store.  I’d buy a bouquet for Clariss and other surprises.  I had to make this one of the most amazing days of her life.  I knew she was the one, I didn’t have to scorn through the deepest skies for the perfect star anymore.  I was way beyond that.. Forget the stars!  I had my own galaxy.  She was my Juliet.  Yeah… she was my Juliet.  It may sound so cheesy but in a way it all made sense.  I loved her lots.  I quickly checked my phone, my social medias: Facebook, twitter, instagram.  Nothing new, nothing old everything was the same a boring newsfeed, no new tweets, and same pictures.  We finally arrived to a flower store.  There were so many options… did she have any specifics?  Oh well!  I decided to get her 3 of each.  Women love flowers and that fact wasn’t going change due to favoritism.  Roses, daisies, tulips, orchids and many more.  It wasn’t going to be any ordinary bouquet, it had to be magical.  The florist asked for a message.

“Yes yes of course, umm lets see…” I said

I turned to look at Aramis

“You’re on your own man, its your lady!” he said turning the other way

Right.  He had a point. Anyways, I thought of many wonderful messages.  But it had to be phenomenal; something that would bring her joy, tears, a yes to my proposal.

Perfect!

I turned to the florist and spoke,

“ To the apple of my eye. To my Juliet; I’ll love you to the stars above; I’ll love you til I die. You’re the perfect love song that makes my heart dance. You’re the sweetest air that fills my lungs. Let me take your hand forever. Through ups and downs; thick and thin. Forever shall be our definition. Marry me?”

I sighed.  I soon realized I was staring at nothing.  Just gazing through my inspiration I guess.

The florist and Aramis stared at me then at each other. Bug eyed.

“You freakin’ poet! Where do you get all of these! You sound like a romantic fortune cookie!” he almost shouted.

“Haha, its nothing. Its just how I feel about her.” I said shyly

“Well, you better write these down!” Aramis said
