A Whiff of Perfume

Lovers choose red roses To express their undying love, For their beloved Who shines like an angel from heaven above. Life is a Paradise; when we are young, Life is like an epic film, That has just begun It has lots of pages Not yet known to you, Will you and your sweetheart Stay together, And be forever true? Like the magnificence of the rose Will your love fade over time Or will you always, Keep your first love in mind. Memories come flooding back, Sometimes when your alone Has your love ever married, Or is she all alone? Does she ever think fo you? And memorise the same, Or does the perfume, like the rose, With memories remain?
