A Rose

I have been hurt myself
I understand why you wear your thorns
to guard your heart and all you hold dear
 Despite your past relationships
the one who hurt you isn't me
he's not here
 My rose 
let down your guard
love means nothing if there is no trust
 There is no need for wishing
all you have been searching for is in me
no secrets
no lies
it's only me
 A man that wants you to grow
and radiate your beauty
shine like the princess you are
 Cast your history aside
take a chance
grow with me
