Once Upon a Time

Can I play in the corners of your mind?

Hide and seek - just a little

I'm hiding right there between the angles

Close to your heart, right there

In the middle

Should I wait a bit longer

Does my hesitation let you know I care?

Silence speaks volumes

If you only knew

How very much I want to share

Come closer to me

And walk through my rose garden

Of dreams

There's one, two, three

Roses in full bloom

Yet only one is brightly red,

Beautiful and fragrant

It rose brilliantly last June

And in my heart,

Somehow, I've always known,

It's been blossoming perfectly

All these years, made only

For just, you and me.
