Love is like a flower

[joesammsington]

We sit on the bench, watching the river
As it slowly passes along
I hold you as you quiver
and say you’ve done nothing wrong

Neither have I, for love is not everlasting
All good things must come to an end
Please take me at my word
When I say I want to remain your friend

I pick up a red rose
A gust of wind blows its petals away
I am sorry they have left
Yet I don't want them to stay

A bittersweet air hangs before us
A beautiful twilight flashes into my eye
Loves is like a flower
For even the most beautiful kinds die
