The rose has stood throughout the ages as a symbol of love and affection. Plucked from the ground that once gave life, its beauty, color and fragrance once so vibrant begins to fade. As is my feelings for you, this particular rose of beauty and light will stand the test of time giving no quarter to all that may seek to blemish its radiance, Long will the deep red of its petals represent the fire that burns in my heart. The stem of green is the harmony and peace that you bring my soul whenever I'm with you, and in stillness, this rose has been paused in the moment, such is my wish would happen each and every time i have you in my arms. Years from now as you gaze upon this message from the past think of me, remember these days and the moments that we shared and know that for as long as I live you will always have a place in my heart.
