Final Draft:
Roses are red, violets are blue, The way you smile makes me swoon. Your eyes are bright, your eyes they are, but I know you shall never be mine. The days are gray, the days are sad, on the day that you have passed I wish I could tell you how I feel but you would only think of me as unreal. So today, as I weep, knowing you love me, I can finally get some sleep.
Glad I could help!!
