Some may not be aware of why the rose is the most common symbol of love.
Beautiful to the eye but deadly to the touch.
A mixture of glamour and sharp thorns.
A symbol for people in a relationship to emulate.
Expectations hurt us at times and perfection is debatable.
Smooth on the curves and soft petals covering the bud.
You cannot choose to love a rose without its thorns.
Two in one and one in two.
Evidence that pain and pleasure can be one and the same.
Pain is accompanied by gain.
Just like a relationship, your better half is meant to complete you.
Everyone has their ups and their downs.
Cherish your love with their flaws and that’s what makes a relationship last.
Mistakes are not meant to define us but to guide us.
The grass is greener on the other side because it is being watered.
Build your relationship and remember every day is a learning experience.
The thorns may seem a nuisance but everything has a purpose.
Is it the stubborn nature of your love or the small mistakes he or she makes?
Stick long enough and you will find out.
That their weakness may one time be your strength.
Then it will dawn on you that God has His unique ways of creating a means to an end.
A beautiful mess, a glamorous error.
You might be good on your own but better with someone else.
Don’t throw away the rose because you ain’t impressed with the thorns.
Love is not that complicated for two people willing to hold on.
