sakurasou is a japanese flower resembling the sakura that means desire and long lasting love
桜草

sakurasou flowers are often brushed aside when they are compared to sakura flower,

sakura are the the flowers everyone talks about

i too am guilty of putting the sakura on a pedestal

but that doesn't mean that sakurasou are any less beautiful

i'd always hoped that someday i would be able to use these beautiful flowers at my wedding

because they mean so much more than just regular flowers

i hope that when i tell you who i am

that you'll agree

every morning when i wake up i see a sakurasou tree sitting outside my window

everyday it reminds me that love is real

and that someday i will be able to live out my days with someone i love

maybe that someone could be you


a blush spread across my face, not that it was too visible. i smiled nonetheless and set the note down. my mind started to wander the previous weekend, all that time spent with simon was most certainly well spent.

i sat down behind simon as per usual and he handed a pair of earbuds back to me. earlier that week simon had gotten an extension that let you plug two earbuds into your phone so now we didn't have to share the same pair.

i sat in anticipation as he scrolled around on his phone as he looked for a song to play. he settled on a song and showed me the title before playing it, lemons by brye and cavetown. the name cavetown was familiar, i believe he really likes cavetown but i can't really remember.

class was rather slow so i mostly just drummed my fingers on his shoulders. whenever i tapped a familiar pattern like the 20th century fox pattern he would tap his pencil on my fingers to the beat with me.

it was quite a good way to entertain ourselves cause before we knew it class was over. we stood and began to make our way to the football field. 

we both lived for being able to hang out before and after practice on fridays. friday was definitely my favorite day of the week. being able to read the mystery letters and spending time with simon, was the best part of my whole week.

practice ended and we started walking to our car when daniel ran up to us, clearly angry.

"hey daniel, is something wrong?" simon stopped walking and let daniel catch his breath slightly before.

"we have to get home, like half an hour ago" simon muttered a curse under his breath as they began to walk away with daniel.

"hey i can drive you guys, sounds like its important anyways"

daniel was about to say no but simon nodded gladly and we pilled into the car. he put his address into my phone and i started driving. it was about a half an hour drive before i pulled into a run down neighborhood. 

i stopped in front of the house and we said our goodbyes. a chill ran down my spine as i drove away, something about the house just didn't sit right.
