Thanks for the great advice, but I need MORE! Haha, I really do appreciate it though.
This is what I got for her to give to her on Saturday, tell me what you think. I got a poetry book of this guy who hosted the slam we went to on Sunday night. Which I think she would really like because as we walked by this used bookstore, right after the slam, it was in the window and she got excited because we just saw him. First off, I know nothing about poetry, but I Googled it, and I got a suggestion for this other book so I picked that up as well, supposed to be good, but who knows. Then as an impulse I got a book with a bunch of Delacroix paints in it. When we were at lunch on Saturday, she had asked if I had ever seen any of his work, and of course I hadn’t, but one of her favorites is by him (She is a very amazing painter as well). So hopefully it’s in there. By buying that I hope it shows to her that I was listening, even though it was just a passing conversation. I also picked up a hardcover notebook thing for her to put all of her poems in. I noticed that her poems were all over the place, so hopefully she can use this to organize it. I plan on getting a bow, and tying all of them together, maybe with a flower wrapped in it. I was also thinking about getting her another canvas for painting. When I was over at her place, she showed me her new painting that she used my canvas for, it was amazing, and she thanked me for it since they are somewhat expensive. Is that too much?
Finally, I was thinking about writing a little something in the beginning of that notebook, but I’m terrible at it. I was thinking either of just writing down some things that I love about her, and exactly how much she means to me. Or, I guess ironically enough, our ‘song’ is Jack Johnson’s “Better Together”, not sure if you have ever heard it but I guess it fits our situation now even though we first heard it a long time ago together. I was thinking about writing that in the cover, but I don’t want to overbear her too much, but it fits exactly how I’m feeling now. What do you think I should write in it, or anything at all?
Again, thanks for all of your help, its really help guide me during this.
