Shall I Compare Thee

Shall I compare thee to an autumn rain?

Thou wou'dst admonish me if you knew why.

Though I'd love it if the knowledge you'd gain,

I just can't speak, when near a butterfly.

You are a rose among thorns, oh! t'is true!

And I wish I could be but one of those,

Just so I could be very near to you.

I wish I could hold you; To kiss, I s'pose.

Alas, seasons have changed, so too have we.

To long did I wait, I did miss my chance.

Only now do I know you did love me,

but I was blind to your looks and your glance.

   Now we have traveled our separate ways,

   I'll always cherish, that very first day.
