In arid lands, a rose so rare,
You bloomed, a wonder beyond compare.
Your beauty shines, a priceless treasure bright,
A jewel that illuminates my darkest night.

To love you's a fight I'm doomed to lose,
A hopeless quest, my heart forever bruised.
Your heart's a guiding light, shining afar,
In someone else's garden, where love's a shining star.

Yet, seeing your joy sets my soul free,
A serene comfort, only love can be.
Though you're not mine, my heart finds peace,
In knowing your happiness, my spirit release.
