We must have all heard the phrase

“Roses are red and violets are blue”

Too many times to count

After all

Red roses are a sign of compassion and comfort

Of perfection and passion

But roses, these beautiful red roses, are also a sign of love

The love that you show to me everyday

Making me feel giddy and euphoric

Though these are all things that red roses symbolize

Red roses also symbolize something else

Red roses, dear reader

Symbolize the color of your heart
