My little yellow gerbera

So a single yellow gerbera it was.

My first flower from Mr Oh I'm-so-practical Weiming, 10 months and 1 day after it first became real.

I think I know what went through his mind when he went to the florist on the sly while I was collecting my paycheck today.-
A bouquet: Too cliched. Roses: Too common. Lilies: Her favourite, but too expensive so let's save it for the one-year shindig. Chrysanthemums: *Gasp! Funeral flowers. Daisies: Too many needed to look non-el'cheapo. Tulips: Too drama. Bird-Of-Paradise: Eeeyerrr is that a flower?! Packaging: No time!

And yes, I know you're really trying.


It's a reflection of what you are: Simple, practical, and yet (at most times!) able to lift me up to do a tapdance over the moon.
