beautiful and sad! I still keep have the rose my love gave me, well she did not give it as a show of love but as a show of friendship. I still have it. Yes. eyes well up on sight of such flowers. I loved this haiku. Thank you.
I don't find sadness there because I am sure love has not withered away...because it doesn't..rather it can't.. and lily can't stay forever but one can go back in the moment to enjoy the fragrance..
So very beautiful with a hint of sadness!
