“Thank you” you said smiling,
Not knowing with what guilt
I had picked the red rose
From the school’s gardens.

“But, I like lilies” you said,
Not noticing my struggle to hide my crushed heart.
Yet, I still hear those words
As whispers in my daydreams.

“I have to go…” you said and turned,
And I shan’t forget the first few steps
You took away from my existence,
Leaving me with the red rose in my hand.

I can’t help but to question sometimes,
Drowned in wonderment,
Why our little house
Didn’t have a garden.
