Roses
Eternal Love's Invitation: Roses by Ruby Greenberg
Lyrics
How deep is all the love that you've received
Questioning the depth of the love received by the person.
Is it deep enough to keep you here in this space with me
Asking if the received love is sufficient to keep them together.
Could you tell me tell me your first memory
Requesting information about their first memory.
Is it bitter or is it sweet
Inquiring whether the initial memory is positive or negative.
I hope you find what you've been looking for
Expressing a wish for the person to find what they seek.
Don't go too far I'm forever yours
Committing to a lasting connection and presence.
Please let me follow you to your quiet place
Asking permission to accompany them to a personal, quiet space.
What if I promise not to hurt you
Posing a hypothetical situation, promising not to cause harm.
I won't disturb the space that you've created
Respecting the personal space the person has created.
I will bring roses for your table
Committing to bringing flowers as a gesture of affection.
But please may I stay
Requesting permission to stay in their company.
Maybe there's a story that you'd rather hide
Suggesting the possibility of a concealed or painful past.
But I'll always be ready to listen to yours for all my life
Promising to be a supportive listener throughout their life.
Forgive me when I wasn't kind
Seeking forgiveness for past unkindness.
But for you my door is always open so come inside
Assuring an open door for the person to enter.
I hope you find what you've been looking for
Reiterating the hope that they find what they are searching for.
Don't go too far I'm forever yours
Reaffirming a lasting commitment.
Please let me follow you to your quiet place
Repeating the desire to accompany them to a quiet place.
What if I promise not to hurt you
Revisiting the promise not to cause harm.
I won't disturb the space that you've created
Reiterating respect for their personal space.
I will bring roses for your table
Reaffirming the intention to bring roses as a loving gesture.
But please may I stay
Requesting permission to stay in their company.
Should I ask you questions
Seeking guidance on whether to ask questions or leave them be.
Should I leave you be
Asking if the person prefers solitude.
Should I write you letters
Considering the option of communicating through letters.
Or set you free
Pondering whether to let the person go.
Do I walk beside you or watch you go
Contemplating whether to actively support or passively observe their journey.
If I hold on tighter will I lose more
Expressing fear of losing more by holding on tightly.
Please let me follow you to your quiet place
Reiterating the desire to accompany them to a quiet place.
What if I promise not to hurt you
Renewing the promise not to cause harm.
I won't disturb the space that you've created
Reaffirming respect for their personal space.
I will bring roses for your table
Reiterating the intention to bring roses as a gesture of love.
But please may I stay
Requesting permission to stay in their company.
May I stay
Seeking permission to stay.
May I stay
Repeating the plea to stay.
May I
Final plea to stay.
