My Bodiless Lover


At a coffee shop, For the first time ever, he came to me. For the first time ever, he told me his name. For the first time ever, we knew each other. Without introduction, he came to me as A companion and a boyfriend. I was sitting by a large window staring out to The street feeling blue when he then placed His soft hand on mine, caressing gently over My cold skin. Of course, I could not feel his touch For he has no skin. I could only feel the feeling Of acceptance and warmth of a hand being held. It was not strange to me that I could not see him For he has no body. But I knew he has A face and a body. Despite being nonvisual, His presence could still find a way to make a lonely Girl like me feels loved. His nonphysical presence filled The void in my chest to feel whole again. It was the Moment i knew that he came to complete me. He only exists in my mind. Some day, when The indicator of my emotion goes low, I feel the Urge to curl up against someone's body as they Wrap their arms around me the way a cocoon Wraps a caterpillar inside. And so I close my eyes. As my eyelids slam shut over my eyes, the world Around me turns black. As if the blinds at The windows drop down, blocking the light from Entering the room, or a television switching off. Puff! Darkness is all there is left. Since some of the Days I had are darker than this, a bit of dark would not Be a problem. You see, darkness does not mean nothing. To me, Sight does not matter in this time. Because in Darkness, I can feel his embrace. In this Lightless vision, I feel calm and alive Inside the cocoon of my imaginative lover In the auditorium of my fantasy.
