I Bought You Flowers

It was that time again

To buy you flowers

Though

There's never a need for a special day

a moment or  an occasion

to show you my love with a handful of flowers.

I did have a thought though

To fill the house with yellow roses

A picture of you came to mind

and  

I made it a garden.

I know you would love the yellow roses

and the scent of the roses sublime

No other perfume will stray

into the garden of roses.

I can imagine the shine in your eyes

I can imagine them filled with love

I know that words will fail you

But your smile will linger long in my mind

to make me feel special.
