I'm growing a rose bush.
It needs tending everyday.
The task isn't easy,
But the flowers will be worth it.

Your smile starts the budding.
Laughter makes them blossom.
Thorns are only present
Because my love is unrequited.

My rosebush has lavender petals.
I'll make you a boquet.
You planted this bulb within me,
Because "love at first sight" is the color's meaning.

Ask me to recite any theory,
I will divulge all my knowledge.
Teach me a new equation,
I will memorize it by tomorrow.
But I never learn.

Brush your hand across my back
Croon my name
Search my eyes
Tease me with your smile
And I never learn.

Ask me to reveal a secret,
I will never allow you this one.
Teach me not to love you,
I will forget it in a minute
Because I never learn.

Pull me into your embrace
Whisper in my ear
Stroke my neck
Tangle your fingers in my hair
Yet I still never learn.

I will never learn to decipher
my vivid day dreams
from the drab reality of not having you.

Lock me up and throw away the key.
I was caught red-handed,
or more precise would be
red-lipped.

The crime was one of passion.
A trial? No need.
I was caught stealing kisses
from you between the sheets.
