The roses-- they're dying, fading away; the beautiful red now black in the light of the moon.


I remember the day we met,
The day I found you,
Out in that harsh, cruel world,
Both of us were young, innocent,
Two souls bound tightly, by an
Unrelenting grasp

Both of us wanting so much more,
But we were both confused,
And afraid to try for something better

Then the days passed; we became closer,
And closer still. But we knew, that "you and I",
Wasn't to be...

I watched you drift slowly away
From the paradise we had,
Watched you fade away from this world,

How we came to meet, I don't recall
Time has made fools of us,
We overlooked the things around us,
I never asked how you truly felt,
But the love I felt when this began,
It blurred everything

All the time we could have shared,
Those times I should have said it to you.
But I was too insecure to do it.

I've been consumed by guilt and regret,
Waiting for the chance to see you again,
And apologize for the selfishness,
You must have seen in my eyes,
Before your heart beats faded,

Memories of our life together,
Can't satisfy the hell I go through,
Without you by my side,
It tears me apart; I've been haunted
By the last time I saw you,

I remember turning to leave,
When I heard your last words;
The three words I long to return,
When we reunite.
