Plastic Rose

Lean closer, my darling

I've got a gift for you

It's not expensive of all things

it lacks my usual allure


In my hand I hold a rose,

and yes, my dear, it is fake

But don't get sad and walk away

Please don't make that silly mistake


Take this rose, and keep it close

I'll be faithful to you, until it dies

I'll leave now, as the night wind blows

I promise, there won't be any sad goodbyes
