Missing Link
One, Rose says "I love you".
Two, may say "I care".
Three, I think shows passion
but Four would show it more.
Five, I skip entirely.
This brings us to number six.
ahhhhhhhhh!
A rose for each day of the week.
Wait, what?
There's seven days to a week not six
"Where's the missing Rose?"
Well in the world of Rose's baby
You're the missing link.
Will you be my Valentine?
