"The Rose"
Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
an endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
and you its only seed.
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
who cannot seem to give,
and the soul afraid of dyin'
that never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
and the road has been to long,
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong,
just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snows
lies the seed that with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose.
It's a song which has captured my heart and believe it or not, I listened to it in one of the episodes in Season 2 of my most favorite TV series, "Family Guy".
"The Rose" has been the biggest hit in the year 1979, performed by Bette Midler. This song has also been sung by Westlife. It has millions of wonderful meanings on what is love and it makes me wonder...
Love means ambiguity.
P/S: What is love to you?
XOXO. LOVE!
