Our love was like a real red rose

Full of dirt and thorns

Lasting for a few short nights

And wilting in the morn…

Thank you so much, Raymond!
Wilted indeed. It's too bad love cannot be like the poetic Amaranth; unfading, undying, eternal.

Lasting for a few short nights
And wilting in the morn…

Haha. Can I just give you an amen, sister.
