She was more to me
Than most would be
In a eternity

And although she saw me
Looking strangely
At her, I knew she knew me

And I would smile at her
And say the words
That would unlock absurd

Little inside jokes
That we both spoke
Till with laughter we'd choke

And so as Eros aimed
I asked her name
And she smiled and said Rose

And Rose is all I knew
And she stayed true
To all, for all was Rose
