Flowers Today, Strangers Tomorrow

I gave her your favorite flowers today,

Although she didn’t appreciate them the same, my arbitrary lust for an appreciation such as yours was partly satisfied.

I told her she looked exceptionally beautiful today,

Although the only exception was I couldn’t stop thinking of your organic glow that once showered over me like the raindrops of a fluorescent storm, left in its place a generic shine.

I took her to our favorite park today,

Although without you the sun does not set the same, the birds do not sing quite as loud, and the air does not smell just as sweet, I was still able to imagine a time when this was my happy place, no longer.

I told her I love her today,

Although I still love you, today and tomorrow. I feel guilt when searching for your love in her, such a shallow sorrow, oh I know.

I must leave her today, fore I should have never gave her flowers, knowing my hopeless love for you would make us strangers tomorrow.

Note: I do not write often, I wrote this about an ex a while ago and recently showed it to someone who said I should share what I write so I’m starting here? Idk if that’s a good idea haha but I’m sure this is littered with errors, if anybody has any feedback or opinions I’d love to hear it!
