Simile!
I saw a beautiful rose.
I was consumed with thoughts
Of you, your life, what it must have been like.
I did not know, but I wanted to know you.
I reached out to retrieve the rose.
In that moment, in agony, I withdrew my hands.
I did not foresee the large thorns that surrounded it.
I placed my fingers in my mouth to soothe it.
Still the rose appeared so lovely, I wanted it.
Instead, I turned away and continued on my way.
My thoughts remained unchanged but the incident
Brought an awareness to me that I was oblivious of.
You were identical to that rose and I remain guarded
