"Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality." - Emily Dickinson


You dropped me a rose

(So the old story goes)

(So the old story goes)

It smelled so sweet

(As if I would know)

(As if I would know)

You stood a long while

(Exposed to the cold)

(Exposed to the cold)

I smiled at you in secret

(You didn’t see me)

(You didn’t see me)

I watched you weep 

(Your eyes just gently closed)

(Your eyes just gently closed)

The tears suddenly ceased

(Your heart froze over)

(Your heart froze over)

I watched you retreat

(You walked into the snow)

(You walked into the snow)

Now it’s almost springtime

(The winter has gone)

(The winter has gone)

And all that’s left of you’s a dried flower

(The rose has dried)

(The rose has dried)
