“I know this perfume isn’t much, but I’m saving for the necklace you’ve always wanted. Thank you for believing in me even when I don’t say it enough. You are my forever gift.”
I sank to the floor, tears streaming uncontrollably. That “cheap” perfume wasn’t the gift—it was the promise, the thoughtfulness, the love he had tucked away for me. He had been planning, saving, dreaming for us, even when I thought he hadn’t.
Now, the bottle sits on my nightstand, unopened, priceless. Every night, I see it and remember that love doesn’t always come wrapped in elegance or sparkle. Sometimes it hides in the smallest gestures, waiting for someone to notice. Sometimes, it takes losing someone to truly see the depth of their love.
Every time I look at it, I feel him with me—a quiet reminder that the simplest gifts, given with love, can hold more meaning than anything else in the world.
