J ~ I Have A Rose

I have a rose lain in my drawer
I keep it there in case you leave me
On that day I'll offer it
To you to prove I love you still

You don't know yet about the rose
It's hidden with some crumpled laundry
Lain upon the softest cotton
Quietly waiting for its purpose

I bought the rose and hatched this plan
When all was peace within your arms
The time will come though soon I know
When it will be a useful ally

And at the moment when I hold
My hand out with my secret flower
And colour surges to your face then
You will know I love you still
