The Red Rose

2 - Fallen Petals

Once upon a time, when You were by my side.
I thought of you as a friend didn't notice when it changed. (1)

Looking at you every day, my problems go away.
Your eyes smiling at me, made my body sway.

I emblazoned your body, in my dream.
They look pretty, in your dazzling stream.

You hold my hand unconsciously while dragging me in your pace.
I never saw anyone beside you, what's with that face. (2)

Everything in the world, I do go futile.
When your anger makes a stack of files.

I am amazed at your diversity, a loyal person with a sense of maturity.
Do whatever you want, Do whatever you desire, I'll be your security. (3)

You treat my friends as your children, but see me as an enemy.
Your punches feel good, you are strangely chummy.

Your cheeks turned pink when something I hushed.
Did, by any chance, you blushed.

Speaking my mind, You are beautiful inside out.
Don't know if I ever can say it out loud.

Every single day, I want to confess.
Don't know how long I can suppress.

I am not worried about you rejecting me, or I have a chance of sympathy?
Just don't know if I am worthy of you, I am not so good with empathy.

I know your every secret, you hide from your girls.
But you don't know me yet, we just play around the circles. (4)

If you ever know about my thoughts of you, I am afraid I couldn't be forgiven.
Monopolizing you forever, keeping you up to twenty-four seven.

I should stop thinking about you, that smile making me dizzy.
If I look somewhere else for a second, my mind goes fuzzy.

I gathered the courage and told you about my feelings.
Inside my head, there's someone I have been killing. (5)

As I imagined, you couldn't look me in the eye. Are you by any chance, being shy?
Lowering your gaze, you ignored me, giggling with your girls, you cute gummy.

Still waiting for the day, you will again look at me.
Frustrated, Angry, Excited, you will unconsciously hold me.

I gave a Red Rose on the day of Valentine's, you still did avert your eyes.
My heart clenches, feeling the pain. Is this really the end?

I rushed towards an empty room, crushing a rose, which is in its full bloom.
I didn't want to open my eyes, what I will do with these feelings, I don't have a choice.

A soft touch landed on my shoulder, my heartbeats a bit bolder.
I turned my head, saw your gorgeous eyes. Tears in them, that they are holding tight.

Yet You smiled mischievously & planted that Red Rose in my front pocket, did by any chance, I looked like a Brocket.

"My love for you is not, so shallow. Do you hear me, Mr Fellow?
You just crushed a Red Rose with these hand, look how they lay lifeless on the land.
I am not like any other girl, who will take your rose confession as final settle.
I am different and you know that right! I am much more in love with FALLEN PETALS.

Hearing something like this, I am the one who can't meet your eyes.
You kissed my cheek so suddenly, don't know it's real or all lies.

Note:

1 - The Protagonist couldn't figure it out, at which moment his friendship feelings change in love.

2 - He couldn't look at other people the way he looks at her.

3 - He owes to protect her at any cost. While giving her full freedom of her choice.

4 - Here, the Protagonist is trying to convey his inner self. That is hidden from the world. Only he knew his true self.

5 - The Protagonist is feeling wrong by himself. Feeling like he should have avoided it a bit more.
