THINKING OF YOU

While looking at a rose 
I saw your face 
The emotions in your smile 
The sincerity in your eyes.
Traces of your lips 
Were easily seen 
As I glanced at the leaves 
That captivates this scene.
Your smile is uncommon 
Just like this rose 
That attracts by its beauty 
And brings a pleasant smell 
To the garden as it grows.
I need you in my garden 
Where you will be loved 
Cherished and cared for
Respected and preserved.
These words express my desire 
To hold you in my arms 
Embrace you in the moonlight 
In passion and warmth.
Please say you would be mine forever 
And free me from this pain 
Your rejection will make me frantic 
While waiting drives me insane.
