Each day I plucked a pure red rose
to remind me of your love
filling pages of my heart
with ink that's bleeding dry.
Faithfully the diary speaks
of my eternal love
never has a day gone by
where inscriptions are penned with velvet.
So long ago I lost you
yet this yearning fills my soul
as petals of my devotion
lay tenderly within each page.
Until the day we're joined once more
I'll write my love herein
as my heart bleeds in painful testimony
chapters will end when souls join in heaven.
