The Rose Petal
One rose petal I saved
and pressed in my book
and once
each day
I go take a look
It reminds me of you
and one day in my life
when I had you
for awhile
with just peace, no strife
I wish I could press
our sunset like that
and save it
forever
even if it were flat
I once had it all
if just for awhile
and thinking of
it
still makes me smile
So peacefully I rest
in my bed at night
and call up my
memories
and hold them tight
I think of the cafe
were we dined each morn
or perhaps the
beach
with our bare feet so warm
Perhaps the bench
we sat on that day
and watched the
children
go swimming and play
I remember the walks
that we took each night
and all of
our talks
that seemed so right
I still feel the breeze
from the ocean that day
as I look
at the rose petal
and then I turn away
I reach for my calendar
and pick up my pen
and mark off
the days
until we meet again
