Cliches

It's not bad is it?

To wish for once that someone,

him,

would do the usual cliches.

Correctly.

 

The dinner;

doesn't have to be in a swanky 5* in Paris

but something simple.

Something special.

Something to dress up for.

 

The flowers;

should be roses, maybe, or tulips

to be different.

Fresh, and bright or blood red.

Not grabbed from a supermarket on the way.

 

The teddy bear;

doesn't have to be holding a tacky

'I LOVE YOU' sign.

But is has to be big.

Big enough to cuddle and not feel alone.

 

The chocolates;

have to be flavours or types

that I actually like.

White chocolates and fudge.

No nuts, alcohol or dried fruit.

 

The lingerie;

has to be something 'special'

that we both like.

Correct sizes.

Discovered by inconspicuously asked questions.

 

The jewellery;

doesn't need to cost £1000

or be an over-rated brand.

But it still needs that air of expense.

The aura of elegance.

 

It's not bad is it?

To wish for once that someone,

him,

would do the usual cliches.

Correctly.

 

Author's Note

I can be just as materialistic as the next girl, but at least I admit it. I relish any occasion that results in gifts but sometimes... like all of us let's face it... I can be hard to please. Sometimes I just want to be able to put a long list of exactly what I want infront of someone and forget about it completely, so that each perfect gift is still a suprise.

Well done! Personally I would write the words out, (e.g. five star, rather than 3*) but good use of punctuation, the periods seem to reinforce that it is important. Also, you should just tell him what you want :P
