They say it’s the thought that counts. Fresh roses. Fresh roses to say I love you. Fresh roses to say thank you. Fresh roses to say congratulations. They never last, so do the thoughts also never last? Do the thoughts also have an expiration date? Does the thought also only live as long as I take care of it? Even with the best intentions they can’t last forever. Dead roses. Dead roses to say I used to love you. Dead roses to be unappreciative. Dead roses to ask what have you done since? Could they have lasted? Could the thoughts have lasted longer. Does the thought still count when the roses are dead?
