I came to a town on a foggy, grey morning.
Before me stood a very small building. So much, that I was able to easily climb on top of it. I cannot see far into the distance in this fog, but ahead of me, I see a slightly taller building, and so I hop over to it. Hop, hop, hop..
the buildings are like stairs leading me higher and higher. I can no longer see the ground. The wind starts to pick up and blows my dress around, my petticoat fluttering beneath it. My stockings and long sleeves keep me warm, and I hold my hat down on my head. The fog slowly begins to part ahead of me, and I see on the next building a sign. Upon closer investigation, it reads "Please wait for me here. I will come for you, so please wait." It is written in my lover's handwriting.
Yes, I set off to find him, yet I have only been wandering aimlessly, with no clue.
I feel slightly uneasy. Was it my heart that lead me in the right direction?
I sit down and dangle my feet off the edge of the building. 2 hours pass, and the waiting continues. My mind is a mess, but I continue to wait for him.
Each minute feels so slow, as I keep pulling out my pocket watch. I heave a sigh and stare into the distance. A neon pink and purple being is floating towards me.
As it gets closer I can see more details clearly. One eye, bright green. A few tiny little tentacles for feet, and a single bunny ear on its head. Its hands are longer than its body and they limply flail behind it as it floats closer and closer.
I tense up, but don't move from this spot. When the creature gets to me, it begins to speak. "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, darling."
Its voice, was indeed that of my lover, but it was more high pitched, and made weird noises. But this thing..
it couldn't possibly be my beloved.. this thing isn't even human!
Despite my shock and fear, my mouth began to move, and out came words of my own.
"It's alright, you are here now, and that's all that matters to me. I have found you, and I will hold you tightly."
with those words, I outstretched my arms and the glowing creature came in closer and wrapped his long arms around me, shedding a giant tear from its eye as it smiled.
"You are not afraid now that you see me like this? How can you still want me?", it asked with a hint of both happiness and sorrow.
"It doesn't matter what you look like. You are the man I love with all my heart. You are my special someone, and I love everything about you, even if I see now things I did not know before, let's be happy together, ok?"
and with that, he began to shine brightly, and the world around us shifted and warped into a beautiful field of flowers. When I opened my eyes, there he was, still in my arms, with the appearance of the man I had known and loved. Not a sign of what he just was left, and I looked into his eyes lovingly, and kissed him.
Now we can have our dance, as the butterflies circle around us, and the sun shines softly through the clouds.
