If The Petals Have No Thorns

They said we were as different

As the night is from the day

They said you were the purebred

And I was just the stray

They said we'd never make it

Though opposites attract

For all that you held dearly

Were all the things I lacked

They said you were a princess

But I could never be a prince

Who'd I think that I was fooling,

Who was I trying to convince?

They said you were the story

And I was just pretending

I was just the sad song

And you the happy ending

But then they didn't know

That we were Heaven chose

For if the petals have no thorns

There couldn't be a rose

Awwww... This is so romantic!! How wonderful!!

Amazing poem. This was a true masterpiece. I thought it had a fabulous topic. It had an awesome flow to it. I was hooked right away. And you concluded it so well and wrapped back together with the title. I believe this is a true work of art. Great job and this has made it past the first cut in the contest.
