The Gardenias

Two Gardenias for you
With these I mean to say:
I love you, I adore you, my life
Look after them because
They are your heart and mine.

Two Gardenias for you
With all the warmth of a kiss
Like those I gave to you
Kisses that you will never know
In the embrace of another.

They will live beside you
And talk to you as I do
And you will even believe
that you hear them say: I love you.

But if one late evening
The Gardenias should die
It's because they know
That you have betrayed me
And that you love another.
