___________________________
You always lived without color, deep down you felt a missing piece of you that could only be filled by your other half who you still have not met yet.
It was the anniversary of your mothers death. Her death still nagged at you. But it wasnāt your fault even if you thought it was.
The cool air blew against your face as you walked the chilly streets of New York. You were heading towards a local flower shop so you had something to put on your mothers grave.
The bell chimed as you entered, your face flushing in the warmth of the humid store. You walked around the shop looking at different flowers and arrangements.
Picking the nicest grey looking flowers you walked up to the cash register. Setting the flowers down you looked up and locked eyes with the cashier. She let out a gasp. A electric pulse courses through you as your eyes closed and opened again but this time there was a tinge of color. A color you were unfamiliar with was splattered onto the cashiers dress. Her face was a caramel looking color but you didnāt know that. Her hair was dark and curly pulled back in a pony tail. Her manicured nails gripped the fabric of the dress.
āH-Hi.ā Her voice sounded like one of an angel.
āHi.ā You sounded breathless.
āI didnāt expect you to be a girlā¦no offense I justā¦I donāt know.ā You chuckled hesitantly.
āI didnāt expect you to be a girl either.ā She smiled at you.
āWho are these flowers for?ā Your face dropped which Peggy noticed. āIām sorry I shouldnāt of asked itās none of my business.ā You shook your head.
āNo itās fine itās, itās for my mother. Today is the anniversary of her death.ā You tell her. Her eyes softened.
āIām sorry for you loss. I know what itās like, I lost my mother as well, so I know what youāre going through. You may blame yourself but itās not your fault.
You smile softly to yourself.
āThank you.ā You say. Peggy beamed at that.
Paying for the flowers you left the shop but not before swapping phone numbers with Peggy. You had to stop somewhere else before heading to the cemetery.
You entered the gates of the cemetery, it was dark and dreary. You passed the gray tombstones with inscriptions of peopleās names. When you came upon your mothers tombstone you burst out in tears.
There was a whole bouquet of peonies resting in the front. A small note card attached. Setting the flowers on the ground you picked up the notecard and it read,
āThough someone you love is gone doesnāt mean they are lost forever, because they will always be there in your heart.ā ~ Peggy
Pulling out your phone you sent Peggy a thank you text.
Wiping the tears away you stayed there for another half hour before finally leaving, with a small watery smile on your face.
