There seems to be no more pain. It has died down. I wonder why. Will they find me soon? Because if not, I will die from the pain that has yet to come.

I wake up to the birds singing. The sun hits my eyes. It is such a nice day to wake up and feel pain. 


Wait..

My eyes shoot open when I realize. I don't feel any pain. I place a hand onto my heart and breathe in. I don't feel so empty anymore. It's like they are near. This thought makes my heart beat fatser. They're near.

I look around the area. The lake is surrounded by a thick forest which I can't see through. I try to spot anything unusual, but I fail to notice anything out of place. This makes my heart hurt a little, but it's nothing compared to the pain I had before. Atleast now I know they are coming. They are near.


Each day passes with no excitement. It's just me, sitting on my lake, waiting for my loved one to come. Today is a little different from other days, because the day passes by with no pain. I watch as birds fly by, how animals play around or drink water from the lake, how they have someone, unlike me. I am lonely.


The day has passed rather slowly for my liking. I love to fall asleep under the stars. They are the ones that accompany me when I'm sad, and it makes my day happier, that the stars understand me. Today has been already the happiest day of my life, because I know they're coming and soon would hold me, keeping me warm. That thought drives the pain away, and will be replaced with happiness and excitement.

I decided that I would soon go and look around the lakes area, just to feel if my other half is close. I'm not going anywhere right now though, because I'm tired of all the excitement that made my day happier. For now, I just want to sleep under the stars and wait, close my eyes and let the person come closer to me. I would love to meet them one day, because I know I will. And when I meet them, I will wrap my wings around them, keeping them warm while the stars dance over us.
