Rose Petals
Rose Petals
By Emmanuel Salgado
Take a petal from the rose.
Take another petal as a gift for you
It takes some time for it to grow or fall.
Oh darling I hope you already know.
Take a petal and say I do.
Take another petal and let it fall upon you
Let the rose show how much I want you to.
Oh darling I hope you already know.
Have all the petals fallen?
Has the rouge turned grey?
Has the rose suddenly decayed?
Has the thorns prick you away?
Oh darling I want to know
Take a petal and levitate,
Take another a petal and hope you stay,
As the petal flows through the wind
Oh darling I hope you already know.
