Rose In the Sand

I have denied the ocean's roar.
Still, I wait for you by the shore.
Two worlds connected by heartstrings.
Is this truly what patience brings?
My insight and logic at war.

I left but I cannot ignore.
You cannot wilt on this seafloor.
Despite the ground, your presence clings.
Rose in the sand.

The sun's blindness has made me sore.
All I do for you is adore.
Even if my universe swings.
Tell me, will you come if wind sings?
Don't leave me alone anymore.
Rose in the sand.
