Sarah Bareilles - Love Song (2007)
On Sunday, I got my act together and made a little altar to Apollo on the bookshelf in my bedroom. I felt lighter and better afterwards. Before going to sleep, I asked him to help me with my sick dog, and with the boy I like, but he was optional and my priority was my sick dog.
Yesterday I felt that he wanted a hyacinth on his altar. I started at nine in the morning and only finished at eleven at night, almost midnight. Of course I stopped for lunch, a snack and dinner.
After I finished, I felt light again, and it made sense that he wanted and asked for the hyacinth with him in the same way that I asked for my loved ones to be with me. It's dawn and guess what? The sun hit the hyacinth flower first and then lit up my room. And the weather is overcast and it's really cold for me, the light wasn't supposed to appear in my room so soon!
It looks beautiful and I don't regret the hours of sore hands. And Apollo seems happy too.
Me and the boy I like are exchanging flowers every day, and it's a totally innocent and fun story for me.
He said he liked lilies and I knew how to make origami ones, so I made one for him and he gave me an origami tulip, which is my favorite flower. On Monday of this week he gave me three tulips and said "I have three tulips in front of you, I win." But I took it personally and the next day I brought him three more lilies.
Now he and I are in a kind of cold war arms race with paper flowers. On Wednesday he brought me 5 flowers with his perfume, the day before yesterday I gave him 10 with my perfume and yesterday I received 11 flowers with his perfume.
We've been home for a week and none of us know what we're going to get when we get to class, It's thrilling and lovely at the same time.
I love this kind of love interaction. It's cute and romantic, and especially because there are no ulterior motives. I recommend having a flower or handmade gift war with the person you love. And yes I will put this in my fanfic with gays because I can and it is romantic and pretty.
