Yellow Roses


"Hello"
I wish to say to you again
"Remember me?
It's been so long!"
I want to hear your voice....

Today,
looking through dusty shelves
I found a book,
turning the curled up pages
dried petals fell....
Memories rushed
invading my senses.
You sent me yellow roses
a symbol of your love
or so you said....
Their fragrance faded
long time ago.

I held them close to my heart
nostalgic tears roll down my face,
splashing
crumbling the petals,
regrets of what could have been
if only.....

Quietly
I close the book,
a sad but gentle smile
playing on my lips,
hidden memory
within old pages
