I was in the garden looking at the flowers, but you caught my eyes
I watched you every day— your petals glimmered in the sunlight, and twinkled in the moonlight.
It was love at first sight.
From the petals to your roots, I fell for you White Rose.
When I confessed my love for you, you told me “Yes please!” White Rose— I love you too!
On that day, our journey began
Our new love blossomed in the garden.
You smelled beautiful, I caressed your gentle body But sometimes your thorns would hurt me.
I asked if I could clip them away But you told me no
But it’s okay, because I’ll love you anyway. We let our love blossom again,
White Rose.
I was prepared to nurture you
I wanted to fight the cold winters for you So when I asked if I could take you home And you said “Yes please!”
You gave me high hopes and dreams, my dreams were becoming reality.
Then I realized that I wanted you as my reality
White Rose— I love you too!
All this time I’ve spent with you, it has been a dream come true.
I’ve learned so much from you
Love is filled with pain, but it can blossom again And then we grew our own garden
White Rose.
I was ready to stay with you for the rest of our lives.
I’ll nurture you, and I’ll fight the cold winters for you.
But then you started getting second doubts
This newborn reality is reverting back into a dream, White Rose, why are you doing this to me?
Do you even love me?
You told me let our love to wither away, and then the winter came. White Rose, do you expect me to just watch?
I’ll make you mine once again
Let our love blossom once more, and let’s grow another garden White Rose.
Was our love just a fantasy?
Why can’t I bring myself to hate you?
You crushed my dreams, but I can’t stop loving you. Why did you stop me, White Rose?
You looked at me with a dying smile “Young boy, you’re too sweet for this world I love you but I can’t let the winter go
It hurts to see you in pain, but you told me that love can blossom again.
I’ll be here in the spring, but our love won’t be the same I’m sorry, young boy,
There’s plenty of flowers out there for you
So please, make your own garden, so that I may see you happy again.
Now I must wither away…” WHITE ROSE!
Even after you chose the winter, I still love you
So when I see you in spring, I hope that you’re happy I only wish the best for you.
And may the next one be happy too…
