all roses have thorns

I always said
"noone is perfect"
then I met you, a rose.
you were everything. Everything to me.

you welcomed me into your life
with open arms, an open book
it was only until I got closer
that you began to show me your thorns.

You believed your thorns would push me away,
they didn't
they drew me closer to you and I instead
showed you my hands and whispered
"I'm ready to bleed"

It didn't matter if it hurt
I would do anything for you.
It was expected,
all roses have thorns
please don't you forget it

I think you opened my eyes,
my little rose
you showed me love
like no other.
You showed me the love with sacrifices,
which can be gruesome and sore,
but it was worth it
to hold you, to promise to love you no matter your thorns.
