Here It Stays

Over my head

Beyond my grasp

A feeling exists

It's meant to last

Past my reach

Beyond the door

A love that's encompassing

A love so pure

Into the air

And above the crowds

Love with outstretched wings

Soars into the clouds

Receiver of my affection

A gravestone marks

My loving prayer

To heaven, embarks

Over the moon and stars

My love stands tall

Engrained in my thoughts

Forever in my soul

I place a rose for you

It soon withers and decays

But unlike the single flower

My love is here and here it stays.
