I
bought a bouquet
of
tulips yesterday.
They
reminded me of you.
The
farmer’s market
where
I bought them
was
busy with people.
But
the man selling the
tiny
donuts you loved
wasn’t
there.
So
I had a bagel
with
my Sunday paper
at
Starbucks.
I
placed the flowers in a vase
next
to the picture
of
you at the tulip
festival
last year.
It
made me smile.
When
I returned home
from
shopping
I
thought you were here.
But
it was just the scent
of
the flowers.
It
made me dream
of
you again.
The
pillow where
you
lay your head
remained
cold and barren.
I
bought a bouquet
of
tulips yesterday.
They
reminded me of you.
Today
I threw them
in
the trash.
