Intro I always knew I had a taste for trouble, so that’s exactly what I searched for. And this fiery passion packed into the gracious body of a woman was just what I desired. Her eyes sparkled with life under the flashing lights of the club, her body moving just right enough to catch my attention. She didn’t do it on purpose, and that’s what made my eyebrow raise with curiosity. I couldn’t help but stare, and it was the best decision of my life to ask for a dance. Even with flowers every Friday, a kiss on the back of the hand after every part, I still feel as if I didn’t deserve her. Especially with my habits. Smoking, getting ticket after ticket for speeding on those bitter cold nights..But I’m slowly getting better, for her. And now that we’ve moved in together, she still decides to take her own car to work, to cook us both meals and refuse to have me lift a finger after my office job. Ooh, I love that woman. She’s the reason why I finally figured out how a human heart could beat so fast. It’s my love. My obsession for this human being, my desires to keep her in my arms forever. My ma always told me that if I keep up my acts, I’ll die alone. But twenty-five isn’t too bad to have marriage already on my mind, right? Not yet, though, but..Soon. Make this three year relationship up to five, and if I’m lucky enough to keep her in my grasp, she’ll have a beauty on her finger. Nothing more beautiful than her, of course. Nothing can compete with her beauty. But now, on this beautiful evening, March 14th, 2024; we both managed to get a day off of work on our anniversary. Cliffside, as usual, where we’d park my car and eat in the trunk, looking out at the view of the rushing water hundreds of feet below. Maybe I’d get a kiss afterwards, who knows. But I know one thing. I’m the beast, and she’s the rose. The one beautiful thing I’m dependent on. Because one wrong move could leave my heart to break, to never be repaired again. My rose.
