The Rose

Falling into your cradled arms gently
A rose sheltered so long, clutched to your chest
Each thorn bringing a strange comfort
Your scarlet blood returns me to life

No reassuring ease was given when you needed
And still, you learned how all on your own
Finding refuge in each torn petal, it plants its roots deep in your heart
You know more than before that neither of us will let go

Untainted, unshaken
Together your smiling
Continue until the hour of rejuvenation
In your undying devotion forever blooming
The scarred plain becomes a field of roses

Your weakness becomes vigilance
Your sadness yields to joy
In you I find sanctity
In me you find faith

As long as this bond holds us we will never loose what’s gained

Unbroken, unquestioning
Together comes the dawn
Realizing that very hour has arrived
In your undying devotion forever blooming
The revived world will always call out to you

By the time I finished reading this, I had visions of Rose petals falling around where these two people should be sitting, or resting, together - even with the thorns, because it just seems right. So sweetly and gently beautiful Nanashi, thank you beyond words for this.

seriously this is good, its a beautiful love song.
