A rose symbolizes everything
Everything to do with love
To me, a white rose is peace
But love also
Many people fail to remember
The thorns a rose comes with
They’re like the thorns of love
All the pain and suffering,
That’s what the thorns are
If you say you’re in love
Then get into a fight about something stupid
Its not love
If you say you’re in love
Then break up the next day
That’s not love
But if you say you’re in love
And you truly care for me,
You’ll see behind all the thorns I carry
And only see that rose
