My name is a polite three-word command begging someone's memory to endure, yet I bloom as a delicate blue flower given by sweethearts to keep love secure. What am I?
A forget-me-not
The answer literally spells out an imperative plea: 'forget me not.' The puzzle contrasts the literal grammatical request to remain in a lover's memory with the actual tiny blue wildflower carrying that name.
