Peonies

I loved roses.

I loved peonies.

I loved hydrangeas.

I loved their smell,

Their petals, and how

They always reminded me

Of the spring.

I never told you my

Love for roses.

I told you of my fondness

For peonies thinking you

Weren't listening and to this

Day if I asked you what

Was my favorite flower

You would say peonies

Thinking it was right

Not knowing it's actually

Roses.
