He is the thorns that protects my heart,
from the pain that sets me and the world apart.
And the petals that fell so gently from his kiss,
that filled my heart and soul with exhilarating bliss.
The strong stem that kept me alive and strong,
protected me from the world's pain and wrong.
He is the soft velvet touch upon my skin,
the one and only I finally chose to let in.
He is the vibrant petals that colour my sky,
he'll always be my rose, and always my guy.
