Red Red Rose

It was long ago in the moonlight 
the stars were silver and gold
the sand was silk beneath our feet 
as the wind from the sea blew cold

one sweet sad kiss was our last goodbye
a red rose fell from your hand
for i see it again in a thousand dreams 
bright petals lye there on the sand

it was long ago in the moonlight
how fast times river flows
magic the moment that never returns
when love was a red red rose.

Hello Scott, Yes the poem is about a love that is not allowed the sad part is that it is true! Two young hearts first time lovers pulled apart by others. To this day the moment has never returnd..Maybe one day who knows!
