chastity

Missing image
I
He walked along
South lane
and met her covet
clutching her innocence.
It had graffiti of myths
in shades of worry.

II
She watched from a distance
as he tended to a lush garden
filled with red and ivory roses.

III
It was then she knew
he loved her.

Prompt: You don't know how lovely you are.

The prompt suggested naivety to me so I went with it and this is what came to mind.

This is just a metaphor for, well, just what the title says and the loss of it. I wanted to go into more detail but I didn't want to loose the subtlety of it. I might edit this when I've had a few more thoughts about it.
