Roses. . . The symbol of love. That’s what everyone says, at least. But, if this is true, then why do roses always die so quickly? They wither away into nothing. But when they do, there’s no REAL sadness. It’s fake. So we just go out, and get another rose. So, roses aren’t exactly the symbol of love, are they? They are just a filler; A temporary distraction to fill the emptiness that every single person has in their hearts. Each rose just keeps coming and going and we all eventually grow tired of having to keep going out and picking another one. But then there’s nothing else to fill up your heart. So you want something more. Something permanent that can’t be picked off of a bush because you’ll always have it. THIS is love. Too rare to be described. Too unique to be compared. It’s simply love. But, sometimes there are roses that seem to be love. Don’t be fooled by them. I sure was. They’ll only cause you more pain when you lose them. So, when you find your love, keep it in your heart. Don’t let it think that YOU are just a rose. When it happens, it tears you apart. It slowly devours you until there is nothing left. Keep that in mind when you finally find the one who thinks of you as love. So, after I have said this, I must ask you; am I a rose to you?
