But one moment, I am not sure how, I am not sure when, I am not sure why ,but they appeared. Oh god, why did they appear. Upon their appearance, the dark, suffocatingly empty room suddenly became drenched with color and space, but at the same time, I felt the room was enclosed on us. I saw nothing, but I felt red. To be honest, I’m kind of happy for their appearance. They showed me it was okay to be vulnerable. They showed me it was okay to lower my guard. And I was happy, I truly was. For the first time, I was happy. For the first time in my life I felt as though everything in the world was not fighting against me. For the first time, I felt normal, oh how much I love them.
By just looking at their face, I felt this feeling of alleviation. I was so alleviated from myself that I almost forgot that I was holding my breath, I forgot that I was afraid. During that moment, my paranoias dissipated and I focused on them. The ability to breathe came like a sigh of relief. It felt like a gift bestowed upon me directly from God himself, each breath had a bit of heaven in it and it flowed so easily. To add, their face, so beautiful, glistening red in this dark room, creating a vibrant life in my dull existence. I was magnetized. I was drawn in, “Why do they have this light surrounding them?”. Their face so tantalising I couldn't resist. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist. Such an angelic beauty, a devil like me couldn’t resist a force so strong. I had to feel it myself.
