Colors unfold mysteries, every shade a story unspoken. His skin A canvas begging to be painted, I longed to capture his beauty. His eyes, forced shut, remained hidden from me, but I prayed to the universe to open them. His slender hands grasped my shoulder as if his life depended on it, and I yearned to kiss them. Perhaps today, the universe smiled upon me, rewarding some past virtue. As his eyes slowly open, my heart falters, and I realize I should not have asked for this gift, for the sight of him is almost divine, and I beheld a divine vision, as if Aphrodite's son had descended from heaven. ⚠️ General Disclaimer "Disclaimer: This story is a work of fiction.
