return of the rose

The hope was great
Although, the future looked dim
He was able to convince himelf
She'd get over him

He told her He'd stay
And Remember even More
But the pain that would come
He'd not bargained for

His world closed slowly
His hope vanished as well
He took the world for what is was
He was living in a private hell

He had given up or so he thought
He laid there alone as he sat to rot
The light that had shone so bright
He had thrown away without a fight

When people look at him now
And can see right through the face
They would never guess he'd been happy one time
They would always think he's been out of place

The truth that you know
I am who this is of
But I'm not done yet
This is the part I love

The hope I once had
Has come back as I feel
You have pulled me up
And convinced me you are real

What the future may hold
I still do not know
But it doesn't matter really
If you just don't let go

The Rose Has Returned
You've recaptured my heart
My hope will live on
And we'll never depart
