hyacinths of love

As I sit here I can smell them. The scent is getting stronger.
According to OJ they smell like cat pee. He has no romance in him.
What I can smell are the two white hyacinths I bought a couple of weeks ago. I was out shopping one evening when I decided to treat myself to some flowers. Then I decided on a plant instead. I ended up buying a pot with two hyacinths.

The romantic in me decided that these two plants represented myself and Romeo. I could watch the plants grow just as our feelings were growing. Now they are both 80% open but whilst one is growing upright the other is leaning at a right angle away from the first. does this indicate that we are not on course to be together.

The other day as I was going about my business I suddenly heard Romeo's voice in my head. He was telling me that I should

'Sing like you've never sung before,
Dance as if no one is looking,
and Love like you've never been hurt'

I also heard him telling me

You are a very strong person who can deal with these trials and tribulations.

So even though I have not heard from him for a week I know he is with me. I just have to trust him. I have to believe in us. When he escapes from his present work situation he will return home and we can show each other that the wait has been worth while.

I adore hyacinths, the smell is just divine.

Hoping and waiting it's all you can do..... and cross your fingers, perhaps.

Just keep the cheerful spirit going and you'll cope with anything.
