From nowhere, I was in the pitch black dark, I couldn't see anything, and my other senses weren't working to well either, I held my hands out, like feelers, and shuffled my feet, moving slowly forward, trying to find a wall, or something, I heard what seemed like.., yes it was movement, I spun around in the direction of the sound, "hello?" I whispered "is there someone there?", there was silence, maybe I imagined it, my mind being defensive at any noise, or not as it seemed.
I continued to move slowly, arms outstretched, then I felt something, it made me withdraw my hands with shock, 'ok' I thought, 'it's just a wall', putting my hands forward ,until they touched again, what now appeared not to be a wall, it was warm, it was breathing, but it was perfectly still, suddenly I wasn't afraid any more, I used my hands to explore whatever it was that I had found, my hands travelled up, it was definitely very well dressed whatever it was, I felt large smooth buttons, on what felt like velvet, my touch reached what was obviously a pair of shoulders, why wasn't I afraid, then I felt skin, my hands found the face, and I felt that someone should be saying, 'oi get off' but there was nothing, until, hands cupped my hands, my eyes suddenly got used to the dim lighting and I could see a warm smile, "you found me" he said, "I am overjoyed" he turned on his heels "come on, I have so much to show you" I followed him, trusting and obedient, I felt safe, it was him again, I had so much so ask him, so why wasn't I? I knew I would know when the time was right, and it was obviously not that time.
We walked for what seemed like forever, but a pleasant forever, I was bubbling inside, he was here, and I was at his side, without even realising, suddenly it seemed we were in a clearing at the edge of a wood, it was the most beautiful place I had seen, but there was still silence, but now it seemed eerie, there was no bird song, there was no sound at all, the tree's were still as if there was no breeze, it was like seeing a picture on the TV, but with the mute switched on.
"Is this you world, or mine?" I asked, my throat felt very dry, he smiled
"this is our world Marie, yours and mine"
"I don't understand, I.." he stopped me, that gentle smile still strong
"you will understand, very soon my dear, and if you don't it does not matter, now please, walk with me" we set of again, walking through the tree's, I picked some daisies, and held them close to me as if they were a brides bouquet, we came to a stop, and he turned to face me, he held both my hands with his, pulled my hands towards him, and he inhaled over the flowers I was clutching, "Marie? Can you smell the Daisies?" I leant forward, and I took a deep breath "no. no I can't" I knew I sounded sad, and I felt a tear tumble down my cheek, as he lifted my head by my chin, "Don't cry my love, it will come, and when it does, you will know what all this means to you"
"but how can I change this, why can't I hear the birds? why can't I smell the beautiful flowers?"
I sounded desperate and as soon as I spoke I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment,
"Marie, as I have told you before you are not ready, you have accepted me, and that is why I am here, but this world is new to you, and when you believe and the shock of its beauty departs you, it will all be yours, to enjoy"
he now looked sad "I have to take you back" he took my hand and started to walk back towards the dark, I could feel the tears streaming down my cheeks "please, please let me stay here with you"
"we can neither of us stay until you are ready my love" he said softly, his voice sounded sad now too, and as we walked back into the darkness, he slowed, and said "I must go my love, I will see you very soon" his eyes were shining, I thought he might cry himself "please don't leave me here in the dark...alone" I begged, I couldn't control my sadness anymore
"my darling Marie, you are never alone, I promise you, but I must go, and so must you" he looked to the ground
"please, may I know your name?" I asked, knowing the answer to come
"I do not have one yet, that will come when everything else falls into place" he leant forward and kissed me on the cheek
"please don't go" I fell to my knee's, sobbing uncontrollably, I knew he had gone, I had never felt such sadness before
when I awoke the tears wouldn’t stop, I thought I would cry forever
