Description
Under the pale yellow light mixed with faint morning scent, the silhouette of an all too familiar person appears before my eyes and they land upon the face of a woman I dared not forget. This is the woman who slipped through my fingers and left them stone cold, frozen to the bone, but right now; just by looking at her something very very warm flares up inside of me.
Enara.
She is standing a few steps away from me, looking me in the eyes like my own reflection in the mirror. I try to focus, wondering if it is yet another imagination, a memory I couldn't forget. Perhaps this moment is just a fantasy of the past, that came to confront me amidst this magic realm of death and afterlife. I look at her again, and in those crystal clear eyes of her I see a light that can only be hers.
'I see her now.'
I take a gentle step towards her while nudging my feet on the ground and staring at her unmoving figure. I fear if I get too close, too soon, she'll run away- or worse, ask me to leave. She continues to stand, looking at me with a numb expression on her face. Right now from where I stand, she seems as strong as the trees above her head and as gentle as the grass beneath her feet. Unlike the Enara I had known when she was alive, this Enara looks so brave and free.
'I want to touch her.'
"I..." love you. I want to finish my sentence, but it hangs in my throat as a smile emerges on her lips.
"Don't say it." She says with the thin voice of a bird. Her features are so like an Angel but right now, in them, I can see the desire to burn. She doesn't let me talk and continues, "I know what you want to say, but I don't know if you should say it."
'I can taste the bitterness of your rejection.'
I pause, as if I were stuck in an unmovable space. My mind stops me from running to her, and my body refrains from turning around. She is the only love of my life- the one I couldn't protect, the one I have found yet again and she stands so close yet so far. My heart shatters in my chest just imagining an eternity without her and my words spill out in a faint whisper. "I..am sorry."
I love you.
Her eyes widen.
'She heard me.'
My legs start moving and her sweet scent fills the air around me as a strange gush of wind caresses our cheeks. I can smell the scent of tears. Her pink cheeks grow redder in shade as she takes the last step forward. We stand in front of each other, frozen in place, in time. The Enara that I loved. The Enara that died because of me. The Enara I lost. My love, Enara, stands so close to me now. My hands reach out and before I can pull her into my arms, she jumps into mine.
'I smell the essence of her love.'
I did some free requests on my facebook account and one of the person said they feel bad receiving free drawing so they want an art trade instead; this is the story they wrote for me in exchange and I LOVE IT SO MUCH! I asked them to write the scene where Enara and Ciel remeet each other after becoming Constellangels and seriously, she put Ciel's feelings into words so well I went speechless TTvTT It inspired me to draw a simple art so here it is! >v<
