Flowers for no reason

You know i always said i'd never get married. Then one day i found a women i couldn't live with out. I still can't believe she picked me. She loved me when i had nothing accept a broken down box chevy and dreams of being the first person in my family to go to college. Things were so simple back then. I remember sending her flowers for no reason. There would be these little notes attached. They always said the same thing "Just Believe." Those two words said it all. I was asking her to believe that one day i would finally move her out the ghetto. I was asking her to believe that one day i could give her more then just my love. Loving her came natural. I wanted her to believe that one day i'd give her the world. That may sound crazy to some people but those people have never been in love. I worked night and day. Sometimes i wanted to give up. She wouldn't let me. Everytime i started to doubt myself, she would remind me of the flowers with the little notes attached. Knowing that she still believed in me was all i ever needed. I realized every goal. I conquered every challenge. I became the youngest lawyer ever to make partner at my law firm. My box chevy turned into a upscale lincoln town car. Our run down one bedroom apartment became a swanky four bedroom brownstone on the Upper Eastside. I made so many sacrafices to make her happy. However, it seems like we grew further apart each day. We have so many things but so little happiness. We now fight constantly. She complains about me working all the time. This makes me so angry! This is the life that she always wanted. The life that we both believed would make everything better. Instead, i find myself at the local pharmacy getting her prescription for "happy pills." I remember when i was all the joy that she needed. The woman that once lifted me up, now takes pleasure in putting me down. Tonight, i planned to go home and tell my wife it was over. However, i never got the chance. Doctors say she died of an aneurism. I say she died of a broken heart. I miss her so much. Yet her memories hold me through the seasons. Longing for the simple days, when i sent her flowers for no reason.
