Bouquet of Flowers
Suddenly it arrived from an unknown sender.
The card meant a lot, without stating anything specific and even more so, it said to me that whatever I felt about you was already vanishing.
It was a beautiful bouquet of roses sent to me from an unknown person.
I think you took some time to notice it. As it was with our everyday life that we lived together but you passed by it without noticing, without paying attention to it.
One day you asked who sent it to me and I smiled, embarrassed and said I didn’t know.
Perhaps you didn’t believe me, but truly I didn’t know the sender.
A bouquet of flowers then, from an unknown sender reminded that you hadn’t bought me any flowers for two years. You had already stopped seeing me even when I was next to you; you had stared to drift away.
And when finally the roses wilted I sensed that one day I’d have to clean the vase of our life, before the water would turn murky.
