Bed of roses Quote by David Kreger
“Sometimes, sometimes it is really difficult to turn and walk away from someone you have loved and cherished for so long. You know deep down in your heart, that if you stay, you will be lied to, cheated on and disrespected just like so many times before. At times, the pain is so unbearable; if you stay, you will continue to be hurt, if you leave and walk away, you will hurt. I know that life is no bed of roses, but why must the thorns always be present instead of the beautiful aroma of the rose.”
