Notes About The Poem

I saw this today in a parking garage and took the picture, it was such a mystery

 

Gypsophila

Soft baby's breath in prim nosegay
abandoned in a parking bay.
A whispered message left behind; 
perhaps a gesture was declined?
An assignation underway?

Meet me, my dear, floor three, bay A;
I'll leave you there a small bouquet;
you know which, your favorite kind,
soft baby's breath.

Lovers, perhaps, the kind that stray,
who have to meet this secret way?
Upon the spray, a note thus signed;
my love for you is unconfined
I'll prove, with buds, I leave each day
soft baby's breath.

She saw the flowers and just left them there ? She must have seen them, because the note asking her to meet him there was left behind. Unrequited love can be such a sad feeling. Terry Your poem in intriguing. I cant leave it. I have read it over and over, trying decide what happened in that parking bay. Thank you for arousing my curiosity. I may have baby's breath on my mind all day! ! ! !
