Faded Blush

I recall when love's first rush
Made our blood run fierce and strong
How we felt we'd found a dream
That would always carry on

That dream was us and like a rose
A welcome splash of vibrant love
We thought that it would last a lifetime
Thought that it would be enough

Chorus:
That first rush
Has disappeared
A faded blush
No longer here
The dream has hushed
Lost in the past
A faded blush
That didn't last

We didn't realize how it needed
Constant caring to survive
Somehow we thought if left alone
It would continue to thrive

Now the dream has faded
All that's left is letting go
Hoping that next time we'll remember
That to reap we have to sow

Chorus
