"A relationship is like a rose, How long it lasts no one knows; Love can erase an awful past, Love can be yours, you'll see at last; To feel that love, it makes you sigh, to have it leave, You'd rather die; You hope you've found that special rose, 'Cause you love and care for the one you chose.:" -Rob Cella

I always thought
You'd be the one
To hold me closely.

The one I've waited
So patiently to come,
My one true love.

Then I found out,
You're just like the rest
But I wanted you still.

I thought that maybe
I could make you
Be the one.

But I was wrong.
So I'm still waiting,
For I will find the one.

The one, I'll share my life with,
Who will love me
As I love him.

We'll go on together,
And we'll be happy,
Hopefully to go on forever.

"I chose a poem written by my older sister that she wrote for publication class when she was in high school. The assignment was to find a quote online and create a poem that goes a long with it. The poem is about love. It begins with a relationship that has turned out to be bad, but not giving upon finding true love. I really like this one because my sister doesn't do the traditional rhyming that most poets do. The quote she used has all the rhythm, and she goes on to use her own style. It is a very powerful poem that begins sadly but ends up happy. This is a great poem from her collection of work because most of her writing is dark and sad, but with this one she shows that she will not give up."
