Everyday a rose wilts and fades away,
But my love will last forever.
Every hour a petal falls to my dismay,
But my grasp will last forever.

Last week was your birthday,
I can't believe I wasn't there,
To be with you in every way,
But as some say, Life isn't fair.

But well, I'm here today,
And hope to never let you go.
Even though I know this period of play,
Will end soon, my emotions I cannot show.

But as I said before, Every rose fades away,
But we have a special rose
One that time cannot decay.
This is perfect love I shall never repose

This is my first poem and I am going to give it to a very special lady when I get off the airplane. If you see anything you think could improve this poem please feel free to e-mail me. It is going to go with a dozen roses and one fake one...that will never fade away.
