A bouquet of twenty-two roses
You can choose the colour
Orange, white, red or pink
Each bouquet of flowers expresses a feeling
The language of flowers lasts forever
Whereas a rose lasts only a moment
The orange rose for joy and the depth of an attachment
The white rose for purity, wisdom, peace and innocence
The pink rose for romance, gentleness and courtesy
The red rose for love, beauty and passion
The number has a meaning
One for passionate love, two for forgiveness
Twelve for a marriage proposal, twenty-two, I have no idea
One hundred and one for eternal love
Whatever the colour or number, it's ephemeral
When you write a bouquet of roses, it stays in your heart.
It will touch a soul, but not the one you want.
I know why there are twenty-two in this bouquet.
