today, joshua knocked on my door.

though i did not answer.

i could hear him sniffling.

i just laid on my couch, staring at the ceiling.

he left.

he was crying louder than he was when he arrived.

he knew he hurt me.

he left a bouquet of two dozen roses on my doorstep, each with a note tied around the stem with a different reason why he loved me.

i set the flowers in a vase and stared at them.

i had never been bought flowers before.

i just wish these were bought for me for a different reason.
