I was lost287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC66gx8bh96
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxluwbpeWaM
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZTzh74GxI

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbTJaB7KVv
Another Rose287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErkDIdTJHD
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXkJx7We1K
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9V7Hfr81G
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASFA6OkA5k
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlkzPOolly

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. 287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fLT8NYg8e

It was as if You were by my side again.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqGLHhMnZ4

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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr2bwNQSDv

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...287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzfUhxbUQZ
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBj9lkpaGX
Not You.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQViML9Xei
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUrhvTCFA2
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...287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTxABJqhKa
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGyTFe3nO1
I bought peach-colored paint.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yhrwk5Z0W
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm948ubuInb
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugwUseKc2t
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4lL3Lq6Bs
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.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9p9C99GBy
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Rs6f6K9Q
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbLOwfFkgO

I had killed another Rose287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHSExCbR5E
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqOFwAHsjG
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldxycS0ybX
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZQFGGwHAk
I suffocated her with Your memory.287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2MTdOKceo
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z0sDvjt7f
I loved her... to death.
