Quiet is deepest.
The choice of the blue tulip suggests a different kind of love that grows through patience, care, and in silence. No huge moments nor declarations exist in this flower, only a silent but unwavering consistency.
They choose to be cautious.
Somebody close to you loves you dearly but will never let you see or hear it directly from them because they are careful not to. They listen when you talk, notice the details you forget telling them about, and even know when you’re in a certain mood long before anybody else does.
Vulnerability creates fear.
It’s dangerous for them to express feelings out loud because it means risking the potential embarrassment or humiliation that will either make the relationship awkward or completely ruin what matters greatly to them. Instead of saying anything, they stand by your side silently.
They ask for nothing in return.
In some cases, these people seem emotionally detached, cold even, on the surface level, but inside they’re fiercely loyal. It’s people who will be there when you’re at your weakest, clean up after you, leave you alone to recover, and yet never ask for any kind of acknowledgement later.
You are oblivious to all that.
Such is the way of hidden love—they exist entirely in the everyday instances of the delayed goodbye, the heartfelt messages, and the timely calls to say everything just right.
Silent things.
The individual associated with this blossom may prove to be a total surprise—a colleague, a classmate, or even a friend who suddenly becomes extremely observant. While they appear to be totally calm and unapproachable, they may actually be harboring deep emotions they are too afraid to express.
