Roses may be red
but my love is still true
I still dream about you
and think about you
I really can't explain
how I feel this way
after all I've been through
and I spend my days
trying to find out why
I can't let you go
I stay awake most nights
and cry myself to sleep sometimes too
my mind wanders back
never did we have a fight
and I still remember when
you pushed the hair away from my face
and told me I was beautiful
How you kissed me when I was taller than you
even for a little while
How you said I didn't need make-up on
How you got that rip in your jeans
How I took your shoes so you couldn't leave
Back when you used to call me
and we would talk for hours
and I still wonder why
I would ever let that go
