I personally don't get any romantic feelings from this shot... But Loneliness. It is a sad, lonely photograph in my head. I would bet that you set it up that way. The rain, the unopened flower and how it lays there...lifeless. The focal point also convey to me that the POV of the shot is only focused on the loss or absent feelings of companionship. The busy world outside is not even registering, but all focus is on the sad, velvety flower.
I like the concept, not so much the composition. I think it would have worked better if the flower was "mirrored", having the stem coming from the left and the flower itself on the right and a little more centered. Or if the traffic was on the other side. My eye wants to leave the page the way it is now.
By the way, I like the bokeh of the trafic lights as well.
Some technical points have been the reason why I didn't fave it, though: There are no structured lines, it would be great when the borders of the image would be parallel to the border of the window. The surface below the flower. The blur of the drops in the lower left corner of the window.
But those few things aren't facts that deform the picture, those are just suggestions for improvement, because all in all I think you captured a great moment.
