I was lost169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gCP5BBT6Y
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTurWkl8gtN
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpGHMGULgt

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LfMq4EpSk
Another Rose169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoHK1OV2xK
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBatQvQvEK
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3B30XBuuK
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tagbVmuKX
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn50uMSzLo7

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. 169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJOei0BMku

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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uQwYOSpCH

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...169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd20SrXq8u
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQNzMlBFQS
Not You.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDG0Wi6ris
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv8djBDn8e
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...169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09HqyzcLnQ

I bought peach-colored paint.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddeLmNlqTF
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8ssye5LRA
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdP1nzKj8X
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu0OnzQLAR
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.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TaGgjfdTc
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8vwqd2Sp6
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93fDD4b0HV

I had killed another Rose169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2UvHr9Nxp
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FSFTwpgRw
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BhlwsCjkM
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOf8TjvwKP
I suffocated her with Your memory.169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bn2NIsw35
169Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmVv5o286r
I loved her... to death.
