Love yourself completely

“Forgive me,” said the thorn to its rose, “I taint your splendor”
“Nonsense! You are mine own defender.”
Spoken with a blush:
“Together we are a part of one.
Life without you would change me forever.
Beneath the rain and sun
We grow together
And we shall die together.”
Said the rose to the thorn.
“I love you completely.”
