The window side and the view it gave to the outside world became his most favorite sight along with a beautiful boy who showed up every day to steal his flowers too
Everything that's happening lately looks like a dream to him
It was always him, all alone in that dark cold castle all these years without even a reason to live but he did just coz he couldn't die
But its all changed now. He had a reason to wakeup every morning. Every day after that man left he used to get out of the castle and sit beside the same tree he sat.
It made him feel closer to the other even though the other man doesn't even know his existence.
And this day too he came just on time sitting on the meadow talking with the flowers and even the birds and butterflies that surrounded it. And this all made the one on the other end smile like an idiot.
Again he was just a coward. He was scared but he never knew of what.
He wanted to throw away that stupid mask and run to the other, hold him tight on his embrace, comfort his, kiss him or even just feel his closeness. But he couldn't.
He stood there watching as the man left with a flower
you know that I can't
show you me,
give you me,
the weaknesses that I hide you can never see
I'm wearing a mask again so I can see you
BUT I STILL WANT YOU.
