I was lost157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVbvuonvHB
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCwTQaIsIT
Nowhere, and yet there was no where to be lost in. A shadow of my former self, no longer a king, no longer a man. An empty shell, stumbling through a colorless world.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl1w5xZmss

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftu3OfAJBv
Another Rose157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55UuVRigcx
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGZIiXOZZN
A Rose reminiscent of You in every way. Her stem, her thorns, her scent, her petals... it was as if You had returned, reborn in a new form.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBJPzXImav
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsIzZXWBat
She wasn’t a peach-colored Juliet like You, but an Alabaster with pure white petals, like freshly fallen snow. Her color stood in stark contrast to my deep darkness and despair. I knew she would bring color to my life once more.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8WvLCyK50

This time, I didn’t act recklessly. I didn’t grab her without thought as I had with You. She didn’t prick me, didn’t draw my blood. And when I held her close, I felt something I thought I had lost forever... happiness. 157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscRqqotTBh

I took her home with me and tended to her with love and care. Every morning, I would wake to her delicate beauty, her presence filling the empty spaces in my heart with warmth and light.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iEvLhFQF1

But as the days turned into weeks, I began to despise her white petals. Their purity, once so beautiful, became a flaw. They lacked the peach hue that had once captivated my soul. It was the only thing that made her different from You, the only thing that made her...157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa7UtDkBaT

Not You.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhWDat0KN8
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ5zETBOP3
I tried to love her as she was. I truly did. But the whiteness became a constant reminder that she wasn’t You. And so, in my desperation, I stole a trick from Your book, my dearest...157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZcVagP8Bd

I bought peach-colored paint.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPeQEITP1B
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChmsTJ69Wt
I knew ordinary paint would dry and wilt her, just as You had withered from my blood. So I chose a non-drying paint, and it worked. Her pristine white petals absorbed the delicate shade of peach, and she was finally, truly You.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw7TW07VQm
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1d3jDLbuv
But as the days passed, I realized my grave mistake. The paint that gave her Your color also suffocated her. It coated every petal, blocking her pores and smothering her life.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOVzwkivSY
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOTxzkqTpZ
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcpcWW2bIU

I had killed another Rose157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLw0p23qWh
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvRLqV3PbR
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC8kPVSItK
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCABE5QJVs
I suffocated her with Your memory.157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1RbYVy56S
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkhxSuyWGE
I loved her... to death.
