The Day the Flowers Wilted

You planted the garden for me today.
You described every flower in such detail. I could see it all in my mind’s eye.

You planted a garden for me last week. It is starting to grow and I cannot wait for the first blossom.

You planted a garden for me a few months ago.
It was everything you told me it would be. It’s just as beautiful, and just as magnificent. I love it.

You planted a garden for me last year. In spring. Do you remember? You didn’t tell me how to care for them and they wilted away. You didn’t tell me before you left to not see them another day.
