Those red roses,
Lying between the pages, silently
Holding on to tales of the bygone days,
Of memories, of moments, once lived together.
The love that seemed so sublime
With promises to stay together, forever
Why did it then turn away
Leaving behind longingness and pain
Ah! those fragile leaves, those tender petals
Their fragrance has faded, their beauty remains
Those pages as I turn over and touch the red roses
I live those moments, those kisses, those promises again.
Why were they all so short-lived,
Those happy moments with doses of little tiffs.
That drifting apart tore my heart into pieces, infinite,
Leaving behind scars for a lifetime.
Time heals everything, they say.
How? Please tell me, I pray.
For them, they are dead flowers.
For me, they are so full of life with memories.
Another bud in some other place, waiting to blossom
In redness divine, Not knowing that its destiny lies
Amid the pages of a lover’s book
With a piece of heart that stays there with it.
