A bright red rose has bloomed somewhere nearby
Watered by all the love you poured
It has prickly thorns, yes it does
But they're soft enough to let me caress it more
My eyes shimmer as I watch it sway
In the gentle spring breeze you blow
The leaves, the petals, get vigorous sudden
And blast out its feelings like a reverse black hole
With tears in my eyes, I hold the petals fallen down
The heart I thought was free is now closed
"Open it," you grin, removing the blinds
"That was just one rose, I'll give you a garden more."
You spread your hands revealing the ground around,
I see waves of petals and a bright red shore
Taking me in your hold I was longing for long
You smile;
"Even if all this breaks, we'll keep growing them forevermore."
