The beautiful fire of new love
From that day on, I kept her with me. I protected her from everything. This day, we were together. I carried her on my back through the cactus fields as she held a sunflower I had given her. She was very hot and I could feel my wings and skin melting. But I did not care, for she was the only thing my heart cared about. We talked and talked about each other together.
"You wouldn't want me to be your girlfriend."
She said.
"Why not?"
I asked her.
"Because... Things will go bad.... And I'll hurt you....."
She mumbled, upset. I chuckled and looked down.
"Silly... How do you know..?"
"Because that's what always happens...."
She said as she looked away. I looked at her worried as she rested her head on my shoulder.
"But I love you... To the Moon and back!!-"
"Shh, don't say that...."
She whispered to me. I looked at her, surprised as I saw another note fall out of the sky. I continued carrying her through the valley.
"We'll pack everything, head out over the flatlands towards the distant hills and... A full Moon will light the way!"
She cheered with a smile.
"That's the stupidest, most reckless thing I've ever heard."
"Let's do it.!"
I smiled at her as she grinned. Her skin glowed a fiery colour as I carried her away into the night.Credit: @/ _picolo on Instagram.
