“Should you like to see that flaming rose? Just one more time? Should you like to see me holding that rose? If you ever want to see it, will you tell me?

Because I would love to show you that it still burns for you, my sweet one. Those flames are still lapping at those petals. All the mistakes and dishonourable acts, and still it burns.

Even within the nights of anger and rage and the fists hungry for blood, it still burns.

It burned through the deceit, the lies, the love, and the loss.

It still burns, sweet one.

Because even though I was terrified. Even though I ran. I never did give up.”
