My Open Letter: To The Guy Who Has Five Sunflowers

My favorite part of the movie, "Love, Rosie"

To The Guy Who Has Five Sunflowers:

Hi! Uhm. . . I guess you are laughing by now because of the realization of this weird fact--- that someone was already thinking of you when you were either in your cloud-nines or in your most random times (i.e. drinking coffee at 7 AM, watching some late night shows, [idk]). I know I know, it is a bit absurd and hopeless-romantic kind of thing, but it is true - I was thinking about you. A lot.



It has been years of wandering this world without you, wondering if I would ever get to meet someone like you. There are times that I wished you were here with me, despite the fact that I haven't met you nor known you. I often soaked myself in imagining what you look like or what you do at the moment. It is a bit foolish to think, but honestly, those were my late-night thoughts or the subject of my procrastination. Every time I am seeing young couples or old lovers, I always ask where you are? Are you - at the present time - waiting for me, thinking about me, or having fun with the girl that sooner, will be your ex. *evil laugh*


OK, change topic. 

Five sunflowers--- I assume you are curious about that. There are no questions about the flower since every one knows that sunflower is a part of my identity. I adore it very much, and I hope you are aware of that; however, why five? Simple because [duuuhhh!] I am weird and I want it to be interesting, but no, seriously, there are reasons. I want it five because I want to know if you are willing to know me, and I guess you are getting my point; well if you really wanted me, you'd investigate and then you'd end up reading this, right? I want it five because these sunflowers will stand for your five promises to me. By giving it to me, you promise that you'll accept me and my flaws; that you'll support me and my dreams; that you'll take care of me, as well as the persons that I love; that you'll guide me through life; and that you'll respect me, my decisions and my family. Just remember that these promises are not mandatory, it is up to you if you'll live with it or not, but I still hope and pray that you will. 


So, before you buy me 'five' sunflowers [I hope you already did] because you have read this and have realized that you might have given me just a couple or more sunflowers - not five - I want to say "thank you"! I know that you already know that, but I just want to make you feel that I do. I really do. I am chuffed profoundly for all the monochromatic times that you would just smile or look at me with love in your eyes, and everything would become lighter. Thank you for showing your love to me each day - from the simple moments like giving me flowers (picked wild flowers) at random times or cooking for me [I told you I am not fond of cooking since then] to the outlandish, extravagant things like traveling with me, and getting hype when I am hype, sad when I am, weird when I am like one - and those things, I labeled as outlandish, for I know how hard it is, my dear, but you are rocking it each freaking time. Lastly, I am grateful, for you have been helping me to pursue God more and more. You have fulfilled my prayer about my own dream guy - a "lover" of Jesus, pursuer of dreams and co-traveler of this exciting, beautiful world. 

I hope that the reality of me being in loved with you even before I met you and that I still have butterflies whenever I am thinking about us, bring you inspiration to fight each day with me, darling.


I love you with every bone in my body---
Forever and for life time your partner,

Paula Grace Perez (insert your surname here)
