Red Rose

I held this red rose
Close with the greatest embrace
Often looking at it
Forgetting my current displace

I'd stare deep into the pedals
Looking for something more
Hoping I'd discover the secrets
Something to be happy for

As the time went by
The pedals began to fade
I was sure the secrets would pour out
The color of a different shade

Soon the pedals crumbled
My heart started to grow weak
Of the future I imagined
The only thing I seeked

I held the red rose
More delicately than ever before
Knowing of all the secrets
The love I once endured

There once was a red rose
That held all vagrance and beauty
It knew of what was to come
It knew of what was meant to be
