I remember gazing in Your eyes,
and seeing the purity of Your soul.
From thee I borrowed courage,
I fealt there was control.
We met at a time when I was weak,
And down to the abyss.
Then you brightened up my life,
With the warmth of a single kiss.
Like any foolish Man,
My feelings I chose not to expose.
In this battle of love I was the thorns,
And you a simple Rose.
