Breathe

by phillip bligh - Leo

I gave you a red rose
It was my love for you
I dreamed we would last forever

I gave you a white rose
It was the peace i hoped for
I dreamed my heart would let go

I never gave you a yellow rose
To let you know i am still your friend
I dream you know that anyway

I never gave you a green rose
It was your favorite color
I died giving you everything 
but what you wanted.

and that too was a dream
lost in the back of my heart
brought forward on those lonely days
so i can remember to breathe.


 

Reason for writing:

    I think Sometimes giving everything isn't the point
(though it doesn't make it pointless)...and in the end 
you have the memmories.
