For Claire

Wilting Rose

I love the way that you make me

The way you make me smile

With your arms wrapped around me

We snuggle close for a while



Everyone walking by

Knows that you're with me

They look at me through jealous eyes

And I'm laughing; "Hey, she chose ME!"



Your fingers entwined with my own

We walk anywhere, everywhere, together

As long as I'm close to you

I know I'll be happy forever
