Fragile ~

Exquisite, serene and delicate.

I am afraid that I can break you, even from my gentle touch.

Your enchantress and generosity cause you troubles, and I am sorry.

You knew and created your thorns to protect yourself.

But, please, let down your guard, my love, I have fallen deeply for your beautiful soul.
