True hate

by Megan Aries - Not entered

I look over at my desk and I see a single red rose
in a slender glass vase resting on its top. Its
been so long since I've seen a rose. Who is it
from...I can't remember. After work, at the bar,
David, the bartender said that I wasn't too shabby.
Rebecca leaned over her rum and coke and said, while
giggling, you know what that means don'cha, Meg?
Truth is, is that I really don't. Love and shabbiness,
whats the difference? It all sounds the same to me.
Could you, the rose man, promise me that I will know
the difference this time? I want you, and I don't know 
what to think about that. It scares me to think that
some symbolince of love could erupt in my heart. I
could hate you for making me love you.
