The speaker acknowledges his mistake and regrets not recognizing the true worth of the orchid, which was his significant other. Meanwhile, the orchid has remained steadfast and faithful, always there waiting for him. The rose has turned out to be untrue, indicating that the speaker's pursuit of what he thought was better or more desirable was misguided. The second stanza reveals the consequences of the speaker's mistake.
