Roses

I have always liked roses a lot. I guess everyone does, they are beautiful flowers and they are suited for almost every occasion. Maybe also because except cacti and carnivorous plants I am not really a big flower or plants person. My favorite roses are (surprise!) the blood red ones. Whenever I smell them or touch them or see them I get surrounded by their sensuality. OK, you get the point - I fucking love roses.

As it turns out, Brett had the opportunity to offer me roses before he came to visit in Romania. It was special to me because roses are always special to me and because it wasn't just a rose. In fact, the rose he "offered me" the first time is currently here on my desk. "How?" you might ask...well. He decided one day, a long time ago, to be spontaneous and sweet so he showed me this beautiful rose on the web cam. Of course I love it and at the same time was kinda sad because I couldn't touch it or smell it...but I guess we had to work with what we had.

Then he said "I will give you this rose in person." I found it romantic and sweet but didn't really believe him, I thought I was being realistic and I was skeptical. It turns out he kept that rose, the rose dried up but kept its beautiful shape. It became my present when he came to see me: "I told you you will get it..." he said when he gave it to me. And so I did. And I am looking at it now. The other roses that he gave me were beautiful also, but this one is just special because I have been dreaming about touching it ever since I saw it that first time in his hands.
