Red Rose of Yesteryear

On Valentine's Day, February 14
I gifted you a single red rose
That symbolized my single heart
I still remember 
Our pleasure and passion

We’ve flown and will fly together 
Under similar sun and moon 
That red rose cherishes   
My true love 
Everblooming in my heart

True love should not be refreshed
That's why on this February 14
I don't have a new red rose
Nor a new wedding ring
To grace your finger again
The single rose 
The single love 
Is for a lifetime!
