postcard from paris.

A tiny piece of fiction inspired by one of my stories…

K–
        Paris is beautiful but I question my sanity. I walked past those flowers you love and I bought them for you. I know, you’re not even here. But now they’re in my room and they smell amazing and they remind me of you.
        I think I dreamt of you last night. I hated that I couldn’t remember all of it. And I hated that I woke up alone. I almost called but I had this perfect vision of you wrapped in our sheets asleep having your own dream. And I just couldn’t wake you. Next time, I may just be selfish and call anyway.
        I miss you. And I love you.
                                                           –D

    Aww! I want a postcard from Paris just like that! But it should say at the end- I have enclosed a ticket for you. 😄 Although… it’s a postcard… so never mind. 😀 Which story is this from?

    Love it! Postcards are perfect travelers, short, thoughtful and keepsakes.

    This is so soft and romantic … kind of suits my mood tonight (not that it’s reciprocated)
