I arrived today to find a dozen roses
carefully arranged in a crystal vase.
A new love song, my heart composes ...
from so far away, I feel your embrace.
*
A beautiful tear, I silently shed ...
my heart longs for you, as if it bled.
*
The softest touch, their petals caress ,
across my fingers, down my cheek .
Sensation a single rose can express
but you've given twelve of them to speak.
*
Without words, so much you've said...
my heart longs for you, as if it bled.
*
A symbol of our immortal devotion ,
they whisper to me, when you cannot.
Stronger than the sweetest love potion ,
for all my life this passion I’ve sought.
*
The rose's soft petals, in colors of red ...
my heart longs for you, as if it bled.
