If love is like a rose, then love must die, like all roses do.1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~2

It wasn't right. I know it wasn't right. It wasn't the right time, he wasn't the right person, I didn't make any of the right choices. Too bad about the love. To me, he was like a bloody apple. My bloody apple. He repelled to most, but I was drawn. Each time I let myself indulge, salty remorse sheathed my tongue and another piece of him was dead to me.3

I bit into my apple.4

He loves me.5

Another bite:6

He loves me not.7

He loves me8

He loves me not9

He loves me10

He loves me not11

He loves me.12

There was barely anything left of that one, but I decided it wasn't good anyway. I reached up and picked another one.13

I love him14

I don't love him15

I love him16

I don't love him17

I love him18

I don't love him19

I love him20

I don't love him21

I-22

Standing up and chucking the apple somewhere it's presence wouldn't plague me, I decided I didn't like apples. Who does?

Author notes

Not a true story-I love apples.

    Wow

    Wow. Really liked how you related love to various everyday items. Like a rose, how every rose must die. That is possibly the best quote I have every heard. I also liked how you didn`t use a flower and pull off the petals while reciting `He loves me, he loves me not` so on... I`m glad you used apples. You left off the story well. With a rhetorical question. It needs not an answer, but I will tell you one anyway. Who does? You do.
