The Rose

結婚式に来てくれた夫の生徒が、自習時間におもむろに席を立ち、私たちが結婚式の指輪交換のときに使った曲「The Rose」の歌詞を後ろの黒板に書いて、そして何事もなかったかのように席に戻ったと言う。

なんとも言えない切ない気持ちになった。

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


Its the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance
Its the dream afraid of waking, that never takes the chance
Its the one who wont be taken, the one who cant seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live


When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember that in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed, that with the suns love in the spring becomes the rose.
