One Too Many Loves-Me-Nots

No desperate lover wants a fleur with one too many loves-me-nots. Should ever such a fleur occur, be everything but soft with her. Be sure to tell her just how mad you were with her result, and how the extra loves-me-not could not have been love's fault. That flower was not just to you; therefore, no plucking should you do again. You should do this instead: forget the fickle flowerbed! I left the garden and its woes, I left the lily and the rose, and left the dreaded floral sun, on which my desperate plucks were done! No longer should you ask of them if you are meant to be with him! Discover for yourself what's true! I did!--and he replied, "I do."
