Rose Petals Have Fallen

Rose petals have fallen
And what was once mine
Has been forgotten

How can you expect me to forget
When you have brightened up my days
How can I possibly erect
A blank memory in your place?

I know that you don't love me
So why didn't you reject me first
So that I could be free
Free from all the pain, the sadness
And all the misery

Do you still remember that day
When you told me we could be together
And you said that it was okay
That you would love me forever

Do you still recall
The way you touched my hand
That day, last fall
Now our relationship is
As meaningless as sand

When you kissed my lips
Have you forgotten?
Perhaps it was to you a mere kiss
But for me it marked a turn

Do you still remember?
The things you used to say to me
The places we went to together
And the things that you promised me -
Are they just a figment of your memory?

Once, you let me hold you
Once, you pulled me close
But the times that we've touched are so few
That I've begun to miss them the most.

The rose in my heart is dying
And I know it to be true
My life is quickly ending
May you find your love soon.
