A Rose

I slip away
Straight into the darkness
I’ve laid my rose
On your pillow
My calling card of love

Moonlight shines through the window
Lighting up the crimson red
Those petals perfectly match
The colour of your lips
The ones I wish to kiss

Want to live every new moment
Within those precious arms
To step into those dreams
That make you smile
Give me your midnight eyes

So when I gaze in them
I will learn the truth
Of where your love comes from
I got to feel it with all my senses
My living breathing rose
