Sunflowers

A/N: This is the first in a series of J/O drabbles I am writing. It is written in the POV of John. The drabbles will be in separate stories, not all in one chapter story.

Enjoy

I didn't think I would come back, not after the first time. The pain is still too much, still too fresh. I sit here, wondering about all we have lost.

A love un-bloomed.

A spring day unseen.

A laugh never heard from you again.

I gently lay sunflowers on your grave. You once told me they were your favorite flower, that they represented hope and love.

They were forever reaching for the sunlight.

And I realize that was what our love was like, two flowers forever reaching for the sunlight.
