All this happening so quickly...
We've met at the place of a tremendous beauty, under the Elven Tree of Life. She looked at me and smiled, as if we had already known each other for a long time. Her words, appearance.. She seemed to be an angel stepping off from the clouds. When she walked, it seemed like she hovered above the ground, though I couldn't see the wings clearly. We talked and talked on then, and time seemed to slow down around us...
Less than a day later I was in love. Of course, she didn't believe me. People don't fall for somebody that easily... But that was the truth.
For some time in the beginning, I hesitated. I hoped that this feeling would flow off me, like it always did. But... this time everything went another way. Day by day, it grew stronger and clearer. And soon, I wasn't able to spend a single hour without thinking 'bout her.
By watching other people's lives I've found something really interesting. Those, who always run catching beautiful and pure things, who have a sparkling life with lots of joy and grief, when everything seems to pass by too quickly for a common life... they die too easily, too early.
But how should I explain all this to her? She's not used to believe in fairy tales, however truthful they would be. Is that because of my sin..? Have I lost everything, when tried to create that world, that dream..?
I don't know how much time is left there for us. Maybe the death is waiting for me around the next corner... since I've had enough life. As for a human. Everything has its price. And this one.. is mine.
Am I afraid?
Though we're together now, she doesn't want to leave her past behind. She prefers to be hurt by it, time by time, while all I can do is sitting there and crying out tearlessly. In order to take her pain with me...
And I just want to take her far away, to the place, where any dream is fulfiled... Is it already too late?
Well, at least, after saying all this, it feels easier a bit. But the pain is going to come back. Very soon.
[Silver tears you left there before..
Now will you fall into a different world
Where I'd be the only one..?
