Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground
She dropped from the sky like a lighting strike.
He'd been walking around in the corn fields alone, just admiring the stars; when he saw a bright light flash, and heard a crash and a wave of air came over him, nearly knocking him down. He ran to see what it was and found a woman in her twenties lying on the ground in a white dress that was burned at the bottom.
As he knelt down beside her to check for a pulse, her eyes opened to reveal clear blue eyes that were so bright they almost looked silver. Her long blonde hair was strewn around her; her hands were tucked together upon her chest.
She was breathtakingly beautiful. He could hardly believe his eyes.
She fainted and he scooped her into his arms. Before he left, he noticed the imprint of wings were burned black upon the dirt. Even at night could he see them.
He returned home with her and laid her on his bed. He then tended to her.
She had a fever and some cuts and bruises. He did his best to bring her fever down and hardly left her side.
He was oddly worried about her. He had no reason to care for her in that manner. But he did. He not only felt obligated, he felt something more for her.
He couldn't stop looking at her. Every time he looked at her, he always found something new in her to gaze at. His heart skipped beats and his stomach filled with butterflies.
She finally awoke and when she did, joy wrapped her loving arms around his heart.
He fed her soup and beans. He gave her water and showed her how to dress and bathe herself. She was unique. She wasn't like the other people of this world, he knew. She was much more than that. She was an Angel.
…..
She was sad. Her wings had been clipped and she didn't know when she would go home.
She was heartbroken. When she was down he'd lift her up. He kept her from falling.
He wasn't ashamed to admit he'd fallen deeply in love with her. It showed in everything he did.
From the way her treated her, to the way he acted when she wasn't around.
He knew she wasn't going to stay forever, and that brought tears to his eyes, but he remained strong and cherished the time they had together.
