The Stargazer Lilly

You bought it for me thinking
it was my favorite flower
but as soon as I saw it
that’s what it became.

This flower didn’t smell like
the crisp too clean scent
of a florists freezer
it took over the whole room
made it full with the smell of lilies.

Whenever I walked by that room
I would come in and
stroke its stiff petals
Be taken in by how it was
exactly my favorite shade of pink
a velvety warm tone.

I would look out the window
and picture a bouquet
of them in my hands
on our wedding day.
