A Chance For Roses

I never had a chance to give you roses, or lay rose pedals on your bed and maybe, place them around your feet. I never lit scented candles for you while you bathed or had the chance to watch you as you sleep.. We have never taken walks in the rain, holding hands or vacationed together where, we might have, looked into each others eye's, kissed passionately as, I stroked your hair then said, "I love you over & over again"... We were so, lost in ourselves, caught up in worrying for others. Those precious moments we could have had, when if, one of us would have only taken, the time to appreciate the other, maybe then we would have noticed we first need to be friends before, lovers....
