I want to be a Rose Petal (In Your Diary)

I want to be a dried red rose between the pages of your diary.

A rose petal which reminds you of love,

A rose petal which has been kept for years

It’s value grows greater each day.

As it grows old and dry, it will heal a message,

And will waken the love in your heart.

I want a place in your heart.

I want to own your love for an eternity.

I want to live the love

Which a rose petal carries with it…
