I was lost33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHjgQ7lF69
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6sMs8tanX
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.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN28asoRRz

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIcVDcNH1b
Another Rose33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QgxK5VqCi
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qhf2JsEj8
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.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbED7wnEMGe
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVzeMPjwDw
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.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyB3SZz6i3
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fGlJKvMLR
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. 33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9P5wHnLjY

It was as if You were by my side again.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLFhkhFkEB

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.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7A4h6AxqG

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...33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SQlukpMv7
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTopWalR0ie
Not You.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDk2wBH4RZ
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDMNQ5KcML
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...33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgRjWLBO1O
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1kWUwSZS4
I bought peach-colored paint.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYOxyThAHP
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKCXx3j7gL
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.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsjiVLai7A
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5smQXxlie
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.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B90kpKLAi
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0IXHyEzDF
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ScjewGbZr
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpEWKZbnv3
I had killed another Rose33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfgi19TbhK
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHaLVazo1Z
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL3EiJ3aPy
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYs6GxWfmd
I suffocated her with Your memory.33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqw9p3rjcY
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHs09jGKBP
I loved her... to death.
