ISO - "Something You Should Know"

Is that I love roses more than any other flower.

I love the way they smell and look,

The colors they come in,

The way they bloom in the sunlight,

The browning edges of the petals I have pressed.

I love the meaning they carry,

A complex emotion hidden in the layered petals.

An emotion I long to obtain.

So forgive me if I cry,

It’s just that the roses mean so much to me,

And I fear I will spend my whole life searching, 

For a rose without thorns.

You’re stuck with us.” Adrienne laughed and took a step forward in the line.  I looked up at the ferris wheel in excitement. I loved ferris wheels, and the Cedar Point ferris wheel was one of the biggest I had ever had the opportunity to ride. It was a must-do attraction on my list of things to do on the eighth-grade field trip.  “Are you excited to ride the ferris wheel? I bet the view is amazing up there,” I said to no one in particular. “Yeah, I freaking love ferris wheels,” said Adrienne. “I wanna take pictures once we’re at the top.” “Well I’ve never been on a f...
