Karen
The Rose I almost bought you
Would fade to dust
Fade to dust and be gone;
The song I will sing for your love
Will reverberate in your memory
But only for so long;
The words I write on this paper
May be saved for centuries
But never read by another soul;
The love I tell you of
Will last for my personal version
Of forever and also for yours.
The love we have together will
Live in the memories of our children
And our friends.
That’s as close to forever
As we really need to get.
I sure do love you, Babe.
Forever.
