"We are like roses. If you just grab at us, you'll get a handful of thorns, but if you know where the thorns are and why they protect us you won't get hurt as badly.Only then will you appreciate our beauty."

I thought you were an a**. Smart comebacks. Rude, but a great comedian nevertheless. Then I saw you differently. I saw you through a haze of summer and loneliness, and you looked pretty damn good through my own rose-colored glasses. But summer ended and the blissful mist blew away with the winds of fall. I see the truth now. That I was right the whole time. I've known you since that first firework on a cool summer night.
