I was lost201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D7jfD9Y6j
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtz2EL4k0I
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUT13GsoqJE

And then, in the abyss, I saw her.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrQEV2dVJo
Another Rose201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFb2Ac174p
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIBdkFlmy5
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz73mXKOjYw

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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83TAOpSAYx

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. 201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmnvH5WtxY

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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdDKL00X4h

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...201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFJP17MZ7g

Not You.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhq3zvStImf

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...201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdbIzchKw5

I bought peach-colored paint.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneC1635L2Y
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUigYF1E37z
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PJXsx1ruQ
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7GGNWoHYB
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.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgmIjKLHEG
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SGDyN9DQG
In my misguided attempt to bring You back, I had condemned her to the same fate.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCizyYy4Gj

I had killed another Rose201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r2SSsOrvu
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjqcglw2Jo
Not with malice, but with love. A love she accepted and cherished, unaware it had never truly been hers.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlhIyN7nZN
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToI6GwqB4F
I suffocated her with Your memory.201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUUNl9ZeuN
201Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzGQ08BoRF
I loved her... to death.
