six
she hands them to you and then you hand them to me i already have these ones i hold them up and smile and you tell me its okay now i just have more. well thank you, they’re beautiful (you tell me that i’m wrong and that i’m beautiful) and you ask me if i know what it means but i don’t. the only thing i know now is i have six roses/half-a-dozen, and the other half is missing but i smile anyway and hope you don’t notice the distance in my eyes.
