“He picked up one of Lorna's roses and set it in my lap. "Here." I picked it up and smelled it. He poked me in the shoulder. "See what I mean? Thorns don't stop you from sniffing. Or putting them in a vase on the kitchen table. You work around them.... Cause the rose is worth it... Think what you'd miss.”<br /> ― Charles Martin


We perceive the optimal choice in one person 

One person that scratched out every possible preposition 

That left what you thought you lived for, unfulfilling 

That hacked every doubtful presumption of imagination 

That left the indefinite to be pondered upon 

The one individual who bestowed beauty in everything 

That compelled you to seek out the impractical

The one that despite imperfections and limitations

Emerged the conception of perfection in your eyes

That shattered walls and rendered a haven 

That made every living moment preeminent

Just to rupture your core to shards and specks 

Leave you like an empty glass, unable to salvage

This one individual is what we proclaim to be love
