YOU GOT ME ROSES

 

You got me a rose the other day,

it was one single rose and you gave it to me with the prettiest

smile on your face,

how can I forget that smile?

I could never forget that smile

at first, I must admit, I didn’t know how to feel or

I did feel something

I just didn’t know what exactly it was, this was a first gesture new to me,

it was a different feeling then it started settling towards

genuine happiness, this was after I caught myself reaching to catch a scent of the flower

the flower spoke that you love me, that you care for me

that you always want to see me smile.

You got me a rose the other day.

Let’s go on a date, you said, my treat, you said

I think I loved you a little bit more in that moment

you always show me love in ways that are new to me

and I let you paint my black and white to gold and pink

you introduce me to parts of my own heart that I have never

seen before, can I have a bite of your burger?

a sip of your milkshake?

and I let you drink from my cup

nobody drinks from my cup.

You got me a rose the other day.

Hey, how are you? how was your day and did you drink your

water?

Did you love yourself today and did you smile too?

was work kind to you and would you like a blunt too?

you genuinely care to know how I’m doing

so you came over that evening and we kicked it

I didn’t know what to feel when you let me vent and you just

listened, you remembered that despite being a man

I get scared too, sometimes so whenever I reach out for that hug

you let it last just a moment longer or until my heart settles.

You got me a rose the other day,

You remembered that random photos and videos do cheer me up.

You randomly reach to hold my hand when I least expect

and on days I wake up not feeling like seeing the world

you come over and lay beside me

you write me love letters in forms of little notes

you kiss me on my forehead every time I lay on your chest

I feel safe with you.

I feel comfort around you

you never let me forget that you’re always there for me at the

end of the day

that I can be myself around you

that men deserve genuine love too

my home.

You got me a rose the other day.
