"I just can't keep doing this..." Her voice quivered as she tried to keep her calm.
He reached for his neckline, pulling out her necklace he had tucked away to keep safe. "I understand...I just thought we were on the same page."
"Me too..." Her voice was quieter now. She could feel herself breaking apart with every word. She reached for her pocket where the necklace and his bracelets were.
They traded their objects off to one another, each not understanding the pain the other person was feeling. She thought he felt indifferent, like it didn't matter how much this was killing her. But she could see it in his eyes...he was hurting just as much as she was.
This is her story. His sunflower. Because that's the thing about sunflowers, they may wilt, but they always come back.

What did that even mean? He chuckled at my deer-in-headlights expression. There was no way I would not remember losing my virginity to Jake. Hell, I'd memorize every second of it. "What do you mean?" I asked slowly, my stomach doing somersaults. Please tell me I'm jumping to the wrong conclusion. Pretty please. "Well," he started, a gleam in his eyes. "First, you grabbed the blanket and ripped it right off of me." I blinked at him, a horrified expression on my face. I slapped his hand away from my hair and turned around. Yup, there it was. Lying on the floor, along with my dignity. He continued solemnly. "And then, you climbed up on top of me." Could you die from your face overheating? I waited for my embarrassment to be complete as he tapped his chin, thoughtfully. "Yeah, that's about it." That's it? THAT'S IT? So I hadn't completely thrown myself at him. Just a tad. And the prize for the unluckiest luckiest horndog of the year goes to Lauren Can't Keep Her Hands To Herself Jules. I grabbed the pillow and smacked him over the head with it. Hard.Complete

Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏Complete

The Star The Sunflower Faced
Asther lost home, and nothing could return it back. It was like a boulder carelessly wrecking a house. And the remainder was its ruins, the memories. Or a child who innocently plucked the remaining red rose out of the sea of wilting ones. Either way, either metaphor. Her mother slipped out of her young hands. And nothing could and would bring her back. As she continues to stir into her coffee cup of misery, nostalgia and bitter hopelessness. Their serendipity leered like the eloquent moon above them. When Asther was annoyed with sleepless nights, she thought that she could find comfort solo. In the middle of a tired sunflower field. But when she thought loneliness was the cure to a heart lethargic from homesickness, she immediately found the best medicine in Gray. A boy who couldn't lull himself as well. And a young puppy-like teen who treated her like she was the best owner he's ever had. And immediately, Asther felt as if a new roof was sprawled above their sleepy but love-aired heads. How, you ask? Well, Asther also couldn't pluck it from her scalp. But all she knew, is that what she found instead of what she was trying to achieve was the thing she should have been looking for all along. copyright © 2019 by lovveIyComplete

one and only (Editing)
I went through the first few pages of the book entitled 'The Question Diary, questions you may ask yourself every day' and now I understand how the book works. Different questions on every new pages for the reader to answer. Pages by pages and a drawing where a woman is holding sunflower caught my attention. Um, aesthetic'ly' beautiful... I flipped to the next page and found another question written in bold Times New Roman font. 'If there was a pill to forget your first love, would you take it?' "Yes", that word slipped out for my mouth. The librarian beside me gave me a weird expression, it was like 'are you talking to me or what' kind of face. I smiled shyly and quickly went back to my sit to take all of my stuffs and slowly walking out from the library.Complete
