You asked me
What do I like and love?
What do I miss and wish for?

My reply
I like and love what all women desire
Roses for my birthday , anniversary
Or ,On a just because day

I want to smell their sweet fragrance
and touch the softness ,of their petals
I want to enjoy their beauty,
while I am still alive

What do I miss ?
i miss the passion in his heart
I miss the roses he sent
I miss dancin’ under the stars and the moon
I miss the quality time we spent

Now that he is gone
Everything I enjoyed has stopped
Haven’t meet another soul
whom cain come close to that

What do I wish for?
After him , what is there to wish for
i have all that i need
right here inside of me

I always spend a quiet evenin’
Of bein’ romanced
When ever I think of him

only thing different
the only thing new
is that now, i am the one
whom places roses upon his grave
the roses
he would of given me

so you see ,my wish has always been
Because his heart and love

still live inside of me

he is the rose of love that lives
and of the love he left for me to give
