This is a thought that's just occurred to me,

on the theme of Valentine's day.

Love,

and being in love with a woman -

how does a relationship extend itself beyond the point of sexual attraction?

the philosophy behind it is as obvious as it could get.

Those who would truly care about the meaning of the bouquet

would be terrified of the fact that the flowers won't last;

in attempt to prolong the life of this beautiful gift,

the flowers are lovingly transferred into a flower pot with lush soil,

and she would tend to it, day by day,

with the hope that the effort was worthwhile.

The flowers would probably remain in a relatively healthy state.

Similarly,

those who put time and effort into unearthing the souls his partner holds within,

should under most circumstances,

be granted the chance of watching their relationship flourish.

As for those who like the idea of receiving bouquets

so they could use it as a trophy in exchange of envy,

they'll be too busy waving it at people than to tend to it,

and would really rather to have it thrown out when it no longer blooms.

And the relationship is treated with the same respect.

Lets see how long that'll last.
