Porcelain Rose

Our love is like this porcelain rose - 
Fragile, yet unable to be broken. 
This rose, like our love, 
Will never die. 

The dew kissed petals represent 
The tears we've cried. 
It often says the words of affection 
That sometimes go unspoken. 

Please do not leave our love on the shelf, 
With me, you do not have to be afraid to be yourself. 

As our life together begins, 
I want you to hold the porcelain rose close to your heart. 
And remember our love is too strong to be torn apart.
