Forever Valentine
This rose, it smells, just like the one
Which you once gave to me
I close my eyes, inhale its scent
Get lost in memories
On your shoulder rested my head
Your arm around my spine
We watched the sunset at the beach
On that day of Valentine
Time seemed to be unlimited
The world belonged to us
Felt free like teenagers again
The love we shared like turtle doves
I cannot help it, have to smile
When thinking back of you
Today I keep my heart joy filled
While mostly it is blue
Memories of deep gratitude
Once in a lifetime love
I lay the white rose down and know
You look at me from up above

Erika, aromas linger in our memories longer. I once read that Alzheimer’s patients can remember smells longer than other things. I think it reminds them you are on their team.
This is rose is the same way. It has beauty and scent to remind of a love gone from this world. Keith

Yes, that is what I learned when becoming an aromatherapist, too. And we know it! Sometimes we smell something and before we know what it is we have a reflexive feeling to it and then the memries show up.
Wonderful thoughts about roses you left here, Keith. Thank you!!
