Why do I.....?
why do i still love him?
the petals of the bloody red rose fall one by one
seemingly dancing on their way down
enjoying the scenery of the blurry girl far above
until they hit the floor softly
all but one petal fell
that one petal,
the strongest,
the darkest red,
and the most stubborn of them all,
remained unshaken yet filled with fright
the girl said a mantra of
"can-i" and "should-i"
as she plucked all the other petals
but
to this one petal, she stopped
she deeply sighed and wished instead
she closed her eyes
she clasped her hands and squeezed the stem of the rose
then, she let go of the stem
without plucking the last petal
and she was careful to not let the last petal
fall,
to the
floor
