Nothing to Remiss

Another bunch of flowers given,
When the last surely won’t do.
The color was that of summer’s day,
But the stems have all a fallen,
And quickly have lost their bloom.
Flowers once picked will fade,
When caught in the moment,
We aren’t reminded of this.
Love like flowers must be rekindled,
For sweet nothings are not to be remiss.
