love,

i sent you a bouquet of pressed flowers once. they were sunflowers, do you remember? bright and yellow, they were like mini-suns, blooms of happiness. when i plucked each one from the earth, it was like i had severed its tie to the world's source of joy. by the time i collected enough flowers to send
