The Rose

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need

It's the soul afraid of dreaming
That never learns to dance
It's the soul afraid of waking
That never takes the chance

It's the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
When you feel that love is only
For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter
For beneath the winter snow
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love
Which in the spring, becomes the rose

I love the text above..
The first time I came across it was when I watched 'The Rose', starring Ella and Huang Zhi Wei..
It was in the form of a song..
I've omitted some parts and kept the ones that I like..
