"Be the light at the end of the tunnel."
______________________________________
When everything fell out of place, he made his own realm. A world where darkness, pain, agony, and heartbreak resided. He closed the door for the sunlight to be blocked and to keep everyone out.
He decided to be all alone.
Enclosed in his own suffering, he started to live without luminosity. His used-to-be kind heart was replaced by a stone-hard one.
He didn't care, he never looked back, and he didn't trust. Then he thought, "I can be like this forever."
But seemed like fate had a different plan for him.
One gloomy day, she came unexpectedly. He was surprised to hear a sweet melody calling for him. Sprinting hastily, he saw her standing on the corner, a pleasant smile plastered on her face.
He asked, "How did you get in?"
She giggled and pointed at the window on the ceiling.
He looked at it, the shock was evident on his face. He never thought about it. He never considered that someone would actually go through that silly window.
However, as much as it was a nice gesture, he did not have the time to associate himself with others. That was when his intense glare fixated on the intruder.
"Get out of here," he commanded, his voice steely and sharp.
Instead of obeying him, she roamed around the whole domain.
"This place seems sad." She twirled, the end of her dress flittering together with her motion. "Let's put some life in here." She beamed and opened the shut door.
He was blinded by the sudden radiance that caught his eyes. It hurt him. He was astounded as a pair of hands covered his eyes.
An enchanting voice whispered, "Open it slowly so it won't burn."
As the hands were removed, he did what he was told to do. And indeed, he adjusted.
He saw the bright sky, the blooming flowers, he smelled the fresh scent of air and felt it on his skin. She pulled him outside.
They had the time of their lives playing games, exploring the outside world of his dark sphere, and discovering some new things.
As the night came, he held her hand and said, "Thank you for everything, especially for being and bringing my light."
She shook her head and answered, "You're welcome but you must know that the light has been here all the time. I'm not your light. You are. And you're the one who brought it in this dark place." Letting out a chuckle, she held the side of his face, her hands glowing slightly as it made contact on his skin. Her voice dropped an octave and she murmured, "Have you ever wondered why I was able to locate this preserve? I saw the light coming out from the window so I climbed up there. And when I set foot in here, I saw you. Shining so bright I thought you were the sun. Somehow, maybe you really are. For you are Licht. Therefore, you are the light."
