The rose

by @sai-tachibana

I am a flower, a flower that was near its last days, hanging on its last petals Till one day he came He came into my life and suddenly it started to rain. Suddenly I started to regain my color and my petals and I felt beautiful. And it was all because of him I only heard his voice, never saw his colors. He was so distant from me but close His voice was like a trail and I wanted to explore it so badly, to finally thank him. I finally worked up the courage and every step I took, I said a reason why I loved him, why I wanted to thank him, how he changed my life, for the better. I was finally there. About to look up. I thought he was a flower just like me. but he was much more He was a rose, with the reddest petals I have ever seen. He was beautiful But along with the reddest petals, he had the biggest thorns. Even though we were close, I still couldn't touch him. I realized he can only be with his kind Not just a mere flower. But he kept insisting Trying to water me with his kind words. But I knew when to stop I knew when was enough. A rose can't be with a mere flower. A rose is too beautiful, and the mere flower is just distant from beautiful. but the rose kept loving the flower, as the flower walked away. the rose saw the flower lose all its petals The rose saw the flower lose hope and when the flower died, so did the rose Even in death they were different but still just as in love. If only the flower knew the rose was just like her A seeker Maybe then they could've stayed together
