Snow Rose

When you decide to see me, carry not a photograph, a ring or three words

Carry in your right hand, a red rose, whether lively or dying

Not for you to give to me and say how long you have waited

But for the crimson to remind me of what used to be and what could still be

When you decide to see me, carry not an embrace or a kiss

Carry in your right hand a rose whether white or red

Not for you to help me realize how long you have also waited for me

But for it to remind me that all the minutes I waited for you have never been for nothing.

When you decide to see me, carry not more promises you know I will always hope on

Carry in your right hand a rose whether strong or weak

Not for you to give to me and tell me I have been loved despite my weaknesses

But for me to recognize you among the many faces that I always thought were nothing but the same.

When you decide to see me, carry not dreams of the future that many often say are not possible

Carry in your right hand a rose whether fragrant or not

Not for you to give justice to the words you have always told me

But for me to realize the voice I have heard for years was that of an angel's that I did not mistake for a lie.

When you decide to see me, carry not a smile or tears of joy

Carry in your right hand a rose, not needing to be in a bunch

Not for the strong crimson to let me know how strong your love has always been

But for me to realize I have always been the only one that owned your heart.

When you decide to see me, carry not a sigh or a cry

Carry in your right hand a rose, whether enduring or fading

Not for me to realize how lonely my life has always been by being apart from you

But for me to know that I can finally put more color to the remaining days.

When you decide to see me, carry a rose...And I will find you with ease and in fate, just as I found you while you were across the world...
