Our Rose

Take this rose
A symbol of our love
As long as our hearts are each others
It shall remain as beautiful as we are

My love for her grows only stronger
Although I continue to fail
The rose continues to flourish
Even though we are apart

My love for him grows only stronger
Although it never worked out
My life feels incomplete
Without him near my heart

I swallow my tears each night
Waiting for your return
I ease my worries in the rose
For it still stands strong

I swallow my tears each night
Longing to run back home
My mind never rests
But the scars have yet to heal

Years have passed
But my heart has not
My love for her remains strong
My hope yet to die

Years have passed
But my heart has not
My love for him remains strong
But my hope has died

I lay here on my death bed
The rose by my side
I think about all that went wrong
But the rose never died

Where are you my love?
He calls out with his final breath
I'm right here my love
Now get some rest

There she is
A tear in her eye
I love you on his lips
As he begins to die

I've always loved you
She whispered in his ear
But it was a moment to late
For he did not hear
