There's a bubble of humility,
of you don't have to do this
when someone you love surprises you
with a little gift,
and yet the humility is lived
through the acceptance of such a gift,
and the warmth of the love that inspired
someone to gift it to you.
Zen's not one who has lived a very poor life,
and because of that,
he feels that bubbling up when Shirayuki
brings him a gift from her own hands,
the idea that she worked hard for this
out of love for him,
makes each and every gift of higher value
than money can buy.
And if it's from her hands,
little flowers hold more meaning,
though if you asked Zen anything about flower meanings,
he doesn't know what's official or not,
but a yellow daisy from Shirayuki
is like starlight passed from her hands to his,
a red rose makes his face flush red,
and his hands tremble with awe,
a little lily means
that his eyes will feel with grateful tears,
and the way he accepts every gift
makes Shirayuki smile so beautifully,
that he hopes is another gift,
one sent from him to her,
even if it's nothing he can hold
or even offer from his hands to hers.
