Flower Petals On The Base of Your Windowsill

 

My love

My dear

 

You are my world

 

I remember when you

Were ill

 

So ill

That notes were passed in class

 

"Jane is dead.

She's not coming back."

 

I remember choking

On my words

 

And feeling like

It was too soon to be over

 

I remember calling your home

But no one answered.

 

"Jane is dead.

She's not coming back."

 

My love

My dear

 

You are my world

 

I remember running outside

And fingering delicate blossoms

 

Each fell so beautifully

In my hands

 

That I knew my love

Must have them

 

I remember running to your home

And leaving

 

Flower petals

On the base of your windowsill

 

My love

My dear

 

You are my world

 

I remember you coming in

To school

 

"Jane is alive.

She came back."

 

I lean my head against the doorway now

And smile

 

My love

My dear

 

You are my world

 

I have shared these flower petals

With you

 

My love

My dear

 

You are my world

 

I have given you the gift of flowers

And of my last name

 

My love

My dear

 

My Jane.

 

 

Author's Note

Dedicated to the cutest married couple I know: Edward and Jane Curtis~

Story Behind This:

Jane and Ed used to go to school together. One day Jane caught a sickness that was so bad, she couldn't come back to school. When she didnt come back, people began to think she died. Edward was horribly worried, because at this time he was beginning to develop feelings for her.

So Edward decided to do sometthing for her to make her feel better. While she was sleeping, he put flower petals on the base of her bedroom windowsill (she usually left the window open) and left. Soon after she came back to school and was as healthy as ever. He admitted to being the one leaving the petals on her windowsill and now they're happily married with a brand new baby girl Samantha.~

AWWWW! I love this! The fact that is a real couple makes it even better. An amazing job once again. You constantly impress me. No deep meaning for me to try to decipher so I guess that I'll leave it at that!
