I was lost323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhuOhNrt7U
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJdWU0e2s5
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS84pA3Gg7R

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVHvT632Cg
Another Rose323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUvmlusQEi
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4BD1lYEzx
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Yxq3Y2VK
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0Oy0C7WZ2
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1aW7DnfB1

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. 323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fjYOwSyx9

It was as if You were by my side again.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolGaVZNBY7

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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuYKTZgxXS

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...323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Le8XSTvrI
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGUVRI69o8
Not You.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeOvwLL95D
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjBIwLMhdu
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...323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyNHJGhxYF
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg5kWSSeyJ
I bought peach-colored paint.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlIYlqVcU8
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc9Xv0I0Uy
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSethbEQqBS
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ1Ye4iilc
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.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO1qYBKyR0
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjUVtSYqAz
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzySqegv7a0

I had killed another Rose323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcgEohMXvZ
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaEP8JPyUk
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0RnINdlQN
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe35JT3D3H
I suffocated her with Your memory.323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxZFg13chZ
323Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18BURQVGJN
I loved her... to death.
