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....
