She Would Say

If she could tell you, she would say
You’re the reason she is who she is today.
You never let her down, not even in the end-
Not as a lover, not as a soul-mate, not as a friend.
You always knew what she needed, gave without demand,
And back then she couldn’t bring herself to understand…
Now here in the shadows she reaches for the light,
It is because of you this black rose has come to life,
And if she could tell you she would say,
Finally she knows why you couldn’t stay,
She would thank you from the bottom of her heart
And pray you know how important it was for you to play your part.
