One fresh December night, a young man sat the end of a pier with nothing but a rose on his lap and blanket over his shoulders. Today was supposed to be magical, the day it would mark the day he would take the love of his life, and turn her into his wife. However it seemed like a love faded, his heart crushed when he saw her in bed with another. What did he do wrong? What moves could he have made, what steps could he have taken to keep her in his arms? The sound of waves crashing onto the sandy shore, the quietness of the night adding to his loneliness and heart break. The dark waves taking the absence of the sky, the stars reflecting off the water making its own galaxy with twist and turns of the night. The man picked up the rose with gentle hands, admiring the beauty of the single rose, the rose representing a peach. The main body of it being a orange yellow, however the edges defining the petals were a fire like red, making the flower blaze with beauty in the night. The man looked at the water, as he did a shooting star went by in a blur. He closed his eyes, his hold on the flower loosened till he dropped the rose of fire into the sea. He opened his eyes and watched the flower and it's flame being carried by the dark galaxy of the sea.

The night after the man's lonely night, two young people walked down the same beach near the pier. The male and female laughed as they kicked and splashed each other with the water of the sea. The male picked his love in his arms and hugged her as he twirled her in his arms. Their laughs filled the air as the beach was consumed with their love, the sea gleamed with its stars as it pushed the flaming rose to the two lovers, for the stars have chosen. As the two young admirers walked along the beach hand in hand, they spot a glimmer of what seems to be similar to a flame. The male leads the way to the unknown source and picks up the flower with a gentleness of a feather. The two young lovers admired the flower, for although it's soaked and smells of salt, it's true beauty is shown for how long it still lasts and has its colors. The male bites onto the flowers stem, being silly as his love snaps a picture to capture the moment of a rare thing. They took the flower on the rest of their walk, their night not quite finished but the star has lived up to the mans wish. The wish that flower was given to a couple with a love like the one he had before.
