With Love and Roses

With Love and Roses

From miles away
You heard my heart
Beat irregular, strained.
You caught the tear
That, outwardly unshed,
Fell from my soul.
Subconsciously you felt
The shift of my mood,
Spiralling into shadows.
You understood, more than I,
This sudden and unwanted
Urge to cry, to hide.
You seem to see inside
This delicate mind,
Perhaps because we are
Of one and the same.
Then you came home to me
With love and roses.
