2A late drabble, but it's for Maiko so I'm gonna post it anyway... Enjoy it!
The light catches your eyes, warms your body and makes you smile.
It's just a spark in the beginning, small and timid, hiding behind fidgeting fingers and stolen glances. And before you know it, it's a bonfire roaring to the skies, shining in the steel of the blades and brave love confessions.
The light touches you, and you suddenly feel out of breath.
You feel the flames spreading from your hands up to your arms, and then your whole body is engulfed in the light and the heat, and it all burns you on the outside and on the inside. It wraps around you, it consumes you, and you know that, after seeing such powerful light so closely, you will be blind to any other glow that comes afterwards. Like a man who, after watching a comet passing by, can't see the stars.
The light enters into your bedroom and wakes you up.
You find yourself alone in the dark with the cold candlelight.
She's gone.
