Just a rose. Just a person. Just walk away.

Think of a rose.
Beautiful, perfect, absolutely flawless.
But be careful. Don't get to close.
It has thorns. They will reach out, and prick you. It will reveal to you it's imperfections, after you've gotten close enough to touch it. It will feel like a shard if glass, a rusty knife, stabbing into you. Gliding down your arm, causing a crimson flow.
In the same way a rose shows complete perfection, so can an individual. Calling you. Tempting you. Come closer, closer. They will toy with your emotions, and then one day, they show you the scars. The darkness.
Slamming cold reality in your face. You want to help them get better, because you love them to much to see them suffer, so you keep going back.
Being pricked so many times has left you with scars if your own.

Just like a rose, a person can tear you to pieces, and you don't even see the danger in getting close to them, until your touching.

Be cautious of who you let yourself get close to. It will cause you so much heartache if you jump into relationships/friendships, before you know the truth. Sometimes it's meant to be. Sometimes you were suppose to be there, to get close. Sometimes you're suppose to help someone with problems, get better. But remember, if they aren't willing to receive your help, you are wasting your time. Sometimes you need to just step back, and give them time. Don't let yourself be constantly hurt by someone you love, just realize that you need to deal with yourself, and they need to deal with themselves. But never quit encouraging each other.

And hey, sometimes, if you love someone, you will let them go. But never give up on them.
