I am drowning in the vastness of the universe.
Is this how it feels to lose yourself?
The air is escaping from my lungs, and
I begin to see the stars twinkle behind my eyelids.
Fingers slip between mine,
pulling me back into the atmosphere.
The floating feeling in my mind persists,
but I let myself be saved.
My eyes blink the darkness away.
The stars begin to dull and fade.
All I can see is an elysian angel,
breathing life back into my soul.
As my thoughts return to reality,
I expect my angel’s wings to take her from me,
but her presence by my side never falters.
Her smile doesn’t ever waver.
Slowly, though, she begins to shift,
and my heart starts to sink in my chest.
Of course, it was too good to be true.
I steel myself for losing her to the ethereal world.
To my surprise, she moves ever closer to me.
“It can’t be,” my mind races,
“I could never be so lucky.”
Her lips brush over mine.
In an instant, blood returns to my veins.
My heart beats in sync with hers.
Worries disappear from my mind.
All I know is how her cheek feels beneath my fingertips.
Her voice is my favorite song,
and the scent of her skin intoxicates me.
With her in my arms,
I remain grounded in this moment.
My mind no longer threatens to slip away.
My eyes slowly begin to see what is really happening.
I look at my angel,
and I realize how the world sees her.
Her wings are a hoodie to the untrained eye.
The iridescent shimmer she leaves on my skin is invisible.
The melody of her voice can be lost in the world’s noise.
Her magic will never be so appreciated by the masses.
But to me,
in every moment I spend with her
and in every moment I ever will,
she will always be my angel.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Alex. I wish that I could be with you today, but I will be seeing you very soon. I love you!
I may not be able to give you the world, but I can give you all of my love. This song always makes me think of you and how happy you make me.
