Thereafter
I know it's just one flower
but it's the thought that counts;
Valentine's shouldn't be
a day filled with mourns.
I like being with you
at least once a year;
as sharing our dreams
it's what keeps us near.
Will I see you again?
You always return...
...I'm always here...

This is kind of sad, because with the phot and your words it seems to me that you are talking about someone not still in this world that you go and visit once a year. Well Done!!
