Her eyes glitter like midnight stars. Her smile glows bright like the midday sun. Her skin, so soft and pale, is as white as silent snow. 'What an angel I have stumbled upon,' I first thought. On the day we met, I could hardly believe my eyes. I didn't know that a monster like me could find a sweetheart like her. The way she looks at me is unlike anything I have ever felt before. It is wondrous, marvelous, simply a trademark of her. I sometimes wonder, does she realize what I am? Would she love me still if she saw what lies beneath? Or, maybe, she has the same devilish impulses, those that she cannot resist... No. Someone so majestic would never do harm. Is this truly how it's meant to be? Is fate playing some type of cruel trick on me? Even if the last is true, I'll enjoy this blessing while it lasts. She is everything I have ever dreamed of: the cure to my evil ailments, the medicine to ease my pain, the answer to my every essential need. The way she talks, the way she walks, how her dress shakes with every step, how her raven hair blows in the wind - all of it is too elegant to describe. If demons can be thankful, then I have never been more so. Within the depths of hell while swallowed by every burning flame, her image rests on my mind. My heart beats erratically when I hear her melodic voice. Such tones are music to my ears. Beneath the mask she wears to make herself seem normal, Heaven in its entirety hides. No human could ever understand what such a being is like. Not even I am able to fully comprehend how someone like her can feel for someone like me. Until the end of this journey, I will cherish her relentlessly, love her unconditionally, and make sure that she knows just how much she means to me. - ♡
