I pray the next girl in your life gets the flowers I never got.

I pray the next girl in your life gets the flowers I never got. I pray that she doesn’t have to guess if you love her or not. I pray you tell her every day, every time you get the opportunity to. I pray you hold her hand in public. I pray you understand her more. I pray that she finds her happiness. I pray that she doesn’t smile less as days go by. I pray she doesn’t forget what love is, feels like when she is with you. I pray she doesn’t become lonely even when she is not alone. I pray you become present in that present, instead of promising a present in a future no one is guaranteed to see. I pray she learns how to love herself before loving you. I pray she has a heart that understands but that also knows when it’s time to speak up. I pray she has the courage to tell you words and sentences I didn’t have the courage to say. I pray she stays because she wants to, not because she doesn't have any other option. I pray she feels like loving you is an exciting adventure, not a gloomy experience to endure. I pray you give her your attention because your money won’t. I pray you look into her eyes and see her because your absence will scream louder if she’s unseen. I pray she finds in her heart to love you with a love that only God provides. I pray she is proud to be your woman. I pray she is happy. I pray she is fulfilled. I pray she receives flowers, not just on her birthday. I pray she receives hugs and lunch gifts, not just on your birthdays. I pray she doesn’t have to hide who she is, out of fear of not fitting in your world. I pray she doesn't cry herself to sleep because you are not around. I pray for her, even if I don’t know her. I pray she is happy.
