I'm pretty much in love with the girl and I've been talking to her for a really long time. She really means a lot to me so I'm giving her the flower and saying something like, "You mean as much to me as this flower" (and explain to her why the flower means a lot to me) I've had the flower for a couple years, and it has been dead since a couple weeks after the funeral, but I've kept it since it means so much, and I trust that she won't just throw it away or something. Do you think she will like it or at least respect that I'm giving it to her even though I love it so much?
