Maybe It Was The New Chilli Sauce

I was vomiting last night, but still you kissed my face and wiped my sweat.

I curled onto the bed, feeling sorry for myself, and you hugged me close.

I wanted her to love the flower, love what it meant, and maybe I was hoping that the brownie points I'd gain would earn me a little kiss.
