I’ve bought you roses before

But not one of them was like this

They were beautiful indeed

But not everlasting like this one

They represented how sorry I was

For having to leave you that day

This one represents how classic our love is

My love for you is bluntly honest and innocent

Now take a closer look at the rose

You will see that it has not bloomed all the way

Just like our love

We’re still in our baby stages

Trying to figure each other out

Taking love slow and learning as we grow

One day we will be a beautiful full bloomed rose

But instead of drying and dying out

Our love will continue to grow

We will stand firm together as one

Just like this rose

People will enjoy seeing us together

In love and happy

Some will envy us and try to kill what we have

As one we will be stronger than their hate

I realize now that meeting you was not by chance

But by fate

So cherish this rose

Keep it close by as you sleep

And always know that

Even when I’m not near you

My love and respect for you is much like this rose

Strong, true and deep
