A Scarlet Rose

by Whitney Graham   Feb 9, 2011


There he was
Standing in the night.
Moonlight shinning on his face.
His face is flawless and beautiful.
I walk up to him
And his hand touches my face.
I should flinch from his cold fingers,
But I don�t.
He pulls me in close
And whispers in my ear,
�I love you�.
He gently takes a step back
And hands me a scarlet rose.
I say back, with tears running down my face,
�I love you too�.
He softly tells me that I�m beautiful.
Then I step closer to him
And look into his brown eyes.
He looks into mine
And kisses me softly.
I turn my eyes to the star filled sky
And look at the moon.
Then I look back at him.
He brushes the stray hair from my face
Blown by the wind.
He wraps his arms around me
And kisses my cheek.
I whisper, �I�ll love you forever�.
Then he says, �Forever is a understatement
Of how long I�ll love you�.
