Forever Like A Rose
Shanice Lyrics

I used to imagine that you stayed
I used to have a dream that you were still with me

And that I was able to touch your face
That I could touch your face, see you smile at me and spend time together

I can remember how I cried
I used to cry a lot in your absence, missing you badly

Wishing you were with me
I always wished that you were with me so that I wouldn't feel so alone

I used to wonder about your day
I used to think about your day and what you were up to

And if I was present in some way
I used to wonder whether I was still a part of your life in any way

I needed to feel like I was loved
I always needed to feel loved by you

I needed you desperately
I relied on you so much and needed you desperately in my life

But I'm thankful, I'm grateful
I'm happy and grateful for everything that I have now

And you will always be to me
But you will always hold a special place in my heart

Forever like a rose
Just like a rose that symbolizes love that never fades away

One so beautiful
Your love was so beautiful

A symbol of love that I can hold
Your love is a symbol of hope that I can hold on to

Your petals shower me
Your presence and love shower over me and make me feel loved

And I can feel your presence all around me
Even though you are not with me, I can still feel your love and care all around me

You're so incredible
Your love is incredible and has the power to heal me

I can feel it still so powerful
Even now, I can feel your love strongly

I finally believe
I have finally realized that your love is still present in my life

That I can have your presence all around me
I can feel your presence and love around me always

I never was able to understand
I could never understand why you chose to be just friends

Why both of you chose to be just friends
I could never figure out why we couldn't be more than just friends

Thought we were a stronger family
I always thought our family was strong enough to stick together

I guess I was wrong
I was wrong to assume that everything would be okay

I was left with just holidays
I was left with only a few days like holidays to spend time with you

Maybe a Saturday or a Sunday
Or maybe just one weekend day was all we had to spend together

Never had much time to spend together
We never had enough time to spend together

And I felt so alone
This made me feel so lonely

I'm glad you have you life
I'm happy that you have a good life now

With your two new children and your wife
Having two kids and a wife has added to your happiness

It lifts my soul to see...You happy
Seeing you happy fills me with joy

You will always be...Forever like a rose
Even though you are not with me, your love is like a rose that never fades away

And I can feel your presence all around me... I Love You...
I can feel your love all around me, and I still love you
