Lovers in the Night...

Night has fallen and I have found her...
My heart, I've given to her...
And as the night slowly ebbs away...
I feel myself wondering 'Will she stay?'
The sky grows brighter, still so unsure...
I do know that without her I shall die...
Without her love, I shall whither...
Just as the rose which she claims to be...
I shall die, but not as gracefully...
Her fire warms me on those cool winter nights...
The ice then soothes me on a hot summer's day...
Without that gentleness, and caring
Away I'll flow, my petals failing...
Without her love, I shall not regrow...
The sun is rising, a petal falls...
Will she run to another night
Or will she stay, to fare out the day
A single petal lying at your feet
Tear drop of dew it's only possession...
