You don't like flowers.
I once brought you flowers but, although you thanked me, you didn't like them.
You didn't say it at first, but I knew.
Then you explained me you don't like flowers being gifted because we kill them and leave them to wither.
I've never seen it that way.
Since then I think is awful to gift a dead thing.
Next Valentine's Day was different.
People were buying roses for their special one while I came home with a little pot and a bag of seeds.
When you understood what I was giving you, your eyes lighted up.
You do like flowers.
But you don't like when people cut them down.
You do like flowers.
So I brought you a way to grow them as much as they can.
Now our balcony looks like a small forest where our cats play.
I look around and I can only admire how much color you brought into my life.
There are no flowers as colorful as my life since you became part of it.
