Love's first bloom...
wilts without the nourishment of honesty & trust.
I'm sorry we could not sustain that nourishment.
I will always love you & remember what we once had.
Thirteen Red Roses...
Thirteen red roses
Waiting for you tonight.
A symbol of the feelings
squeezing me so tight.
I haven't known you long.
The days are but a few
But listening to you talk
Is like hearing my own view.
Someone to hug you,
Someone to care.
The support that you're after,
I've got it to share.
I don't want a master,
I don't want a slave.
I'm looking for a lady,
To share my enclave.
Your life is your own,
To live as you please.
I'd just like to share it,
That comes with great ease.
The package you offer
Is a family of three.
With Nick & Kris included,
I know there's room for me.
The part of
you I wish to share
Has no price on it at all.
It's a part that you must give away,
For there your ten foot tall.
So, Thirteen Red Roses,
I lay here in fear,
Awaiting a reply for you,
The one that I hold dear.

The 13th Rose.
13 Red Roses
You gave to me
The story so romantic
Like a fairytale or fantasy.
You offer your love,
Your support & your care.
You say if I need you
You'll always be there.
Your tender embrace
So warm, so safe
Your eyes so sincere
You brush the hair from my face.
As I lay in your arms
So loving & tight
My mind is still screaming
Is this wrong... or right?
All that you offer
It's a little girls dream
But the child within me
Still cries & screams.
I can't offer my love
Though I know that's what you seek.
My heart is not
Yet mine to bequeath.
My trust, my truth,
Respect & support
These things I give freely
Because you don't expect more.
Now I think I remember
How that story goes-
"If you want me to love you,
Return the 13th Red Rose."
Though I cannot give you promise
And our future no-one knows
I now return to you
A single long stemmed Rose.
Alas, there's one more thing
I'd like to say-
Thankyou for loving me
And helping guide my way.
