So there I was standing there in the cold frigid air. Dumbfounded, hurt, and drastically contemplating in my head about my trials and tribulations. This man saw my pain, my tears, my struggle to succeed. He didn't run away. He stayed and he stood there strong and comforted me. No matter how aggressive my attitude was, he heard that I needed him, he was there. I accepted him for who he was and he accepted me for who I am today. As I closed my eyes I could feel his arms wrapped tightly around waist and his head laying on my shoulder. Somewhere in the distance was a rose, and it was finally losing its shield. As we walked all you could see were rose petals.
