Love is like a rose
Waiting to bloom at the right time
it needs special treatment
a tender hand and a soft heart

you have to give it a chance 
before you snip off the bud

There will be weeds
and there will be pests
some will bloom and die early on
Before they get a chance

but some are late bloomers
hiding within their green flesh

hear me out
if ye be a late bloomer
i bet that rose
will be the most beautiful of all
