It's been 729 days 2 hours and 4 minutes since i laid my eyes on the most beautiful pair of blue eyes known, her blond hair falling on her shoulders, her taunting smile so fake yet so beautiful, her graceful laugh echoing in my ears going straight to my heart, she was so perfect, so breakable so mine.
She would never look at me, never give me this smile that made my heart seek for her touch.
I was too dirty for her porcelaine skin.
She was the warmth of dawn, i was the chill of the night.
She was the silence of the stars, i was the roar of the sea.
She was light, i was darkness.
Even her name evoked purity, Seraphina A name that carries an ethereal, angelic quality, evoking grace, beauty, and light.
Yet when i saw her the first time In the velvet dark, - a fleeting spark, a soft glow in the shadowed silence. Her blue eyes as vast and deep, containing a world of mystery and beauty, cut through the night, in that instant, the world held its breath. i had known love only in whispers before, but that time it stood before me, unspoken, yet louder than any cry.
I understood Seraphina was mine.
Body and soul.
She was the queen of caldwell institute and i was her king.
On my knees for her.
I would trace shadows of her soul.
And in the darkness, i would be her sweetest pain.
