The Lilac Paper


I went to my stationery drawer to find some good paper for a letter to the bank.

I found a sheaf of pale lilac paper I once bought to print my wedding invitations on. I didn't realise I still had any of that left.

Every other time I've found that lilac paper, I've felt a deep pain in my chest. This morning, I just smiled, a little bit surprised.

It was a lovely wedding; pity about the marriage that followed.

Well, lilac paper was hardly an auspicious start was it? You should have asked me.
Lilac, by the way, is a flower, not a colour. Pink and purple are colours. Mauve is a colour if you are incapable of decision making and leaning towards the feminine nature.
I hope that this helps.

Amazing how that happens, eh?
