Surprise

Image
She was single
At work 
And not dating anyone 
But she got them
Right in the middle of the day, 
She received word that there was a package for her
When she made it to reception, 
There they were
A beautiful assortment of spring tulips
Sometime in the middle of February 

What a surprise too!
But from who?
Inside there was a simple note with her name 
It read 
"I'm sorry"
No exclamation, no period, no comma
Just like that 

And she wondered all day and all night
Who could they be from?
Of course there were more than a dozen scenarios
Each one played out in her head with the same person 
Just ways in which he let her know that they were from him 
In all of them he showed up at her door with an even bigger bouquet 
Ready to surprise her 

Alas it wasn't him 
But someone else 
And then she wondered
"Did I really want to know?"
Would you?
