A Yellow Rose

He placed a yellow rose on his pillow When he left her that night He was going back East On a Red Eye flight He would always love her But it wasn't meant to be He already had a wife Who wouldn't set him free He knew he should have told her But everybody knows When you can't face the pain Just leave a yellow rose

I know the Yellow Rose of Texas, Vernette, thanks for the stunning write. A bit too bright, but I love it. FOREVER **SKAT**
