I held a rose
I loved her at night
How I admired her petals
Perfect in my sight
Drunken from her scent
I stumbled and I fell
And in my shameful descent
Fell my vase as well
But my rose just kept growing
And facing toward the sun
She even brought me light
She knew that I had none
I wanted to feed her
I love her with my soul
But my vase was still broken
My rose felt alone
As her petals got brighter
I marveled and said
"my rose is so lovely"
It rang throughout my head
I searched for a light
And thought I found a source
I wanted to share it
But my rose stayed her course
I wondered and wandered
Found a well and filled my cup
We cried when I got home
For the drink wasn't enough
My rose still grew bigger
I thought it a sign
'Til one day my rose
Was no longer mine
I adore you my flower
My heart's stricken with grief
I mourn you when I'm upright
I cry until I sleep
Sometimes I can still smell you
It hurts me all the more
I pray that you still feel me
My heart beats at your door
I'll never take you for granted
Oh, what a fool I've been
You'll see when I'm replanted
You'll long for my garden
Oh lovely, I will find you
You'll be my light again
I'll repair this vase like new
I'll fix it until then
