Love letter to the one rose that has never bloomed for me

I met you — I liked you — I loved you — I wanted you -

yet I can’t, as your love is not the same — as mine for you, as you don’t feel the same way I feel about you.

Yet you thrill me, you delight me — and when I think of you — I smile and it lights up my day, even on the greyest day in midsummer May — you are like the rain brushing away my pain.

Your love is like a painted picture I have painted of you, using my never dried rainy teardrops I have cried for you.

You can see it — You can touch it, yet you can not feel it — as your love is within a painting that’s not real — and it has become a never-ending memory painted in my head which vision will slip away like sand sliding through my fingers.

A picture of you is all I ever get — my love for you I will never forget, yet I cannot keep a picture that wasn’t painted for me.

I can steal it — yes — but then I carry around a picture of you that will never come true.

I have fallen in love with you because it was the one thing that felt real, you made me feel something beautiful after being numb for so long before — yet it feels like a Dorn of a rose pricking me.

Even if we can’t be together in the end.

I am glad that you were part of my life and Lit it up since the darkness has become new my scent.

When I look at you I see my love sparkle through your eyes like a mirror behind mine.

How I see the beauty of loving someone:

1.

There are two roses -

one is yours -

one is mine -

one blooms -

one doesn’t -

If that happens — the love that was felt is

one-sided -

My rose has bloomed for you but yours not for me -

Today only I feel that kind of love for you and eventually, my rose will close and open for someone else, yet my rose will take a long time to close as I will love you for a very long time, it’s like a lover’s crime.

That is called the Love paralysis.

“My rose has flowered for you — I am in love with you — I love you.”

Two roses

if both had flowered our love would have been the most beautiful thing on earth to have felt.

There are three stages of falling in love with someone

Stages

Like — Love — in love

Difference between

Like — Love — in Love

Is the same difference between

For a moment — for a while — forever

I forever you for a while until it becomes a moment and then fades away and my rose has finally closed.

Its easy to find another one but its hard to find a true Love.

I do believe in True love

- and that love happens when 2 roses have flowered for each other.

I hope you find that one day too and that you can say to someone special to you:

“My rose has flowered for you — I am in love with you — I love you.”

And that this special person loves you the same way back.
