I wanted to be pink at your window
with curtains drawn as you pass by.
Your eyes in love
They searched for me incessantly.
In the corner I peeked out,
waiting for your sweet gaze.
Dreams of love and longing
I kept in my petal.
I wanted to wrap you in fragrance,
To give you my beauty and charm.
To witness your love and hope,
and fill your life with song.
But the cruel wind blows
and carries my dreams away.
The withered and lonely rose
fades among reflections.
