purple rose

i wrote this for my friends cousin, who will never come home. i miss him dearly and i wish i could see him again...

 

I remember the first day I met him,

so innocent and careless.

He welcomed me into his arms the second time.

He showed me that he cared with a single white rose,

A day later he stopped seeing me,

Days turned to a week.

That rose was dying, along with my love for him.

The day I gave up, I walked home and there was a purple rose.

A note on the stem.

My heart racing and breathing fast.

‘Baby, I love and I just can’t tell you. They stationed me away from my home, and took me away from you. Keep me in your memory and I will always be by your side.’

I dropped to my knees and hugged the rose and it smelled so sweet and yet so sickly.

I put it in a vase, near the window for him to come home.

A week later it died, along with the man I love…
