The soft petals of a rose.
Love is like a rose with one too many torns, first you savour its beauty and relish in its cosy little pocket of joy and intimacy. And in the midst of doing so, you ever so often get pricked by the thorns of sorrows and heartbroken memories.
Perhaps symbolic of both beauty and strength, the soft petals of a rose, guarded by the strength of the thorns that surround it.
