"On top of the roof
The air is so cold and so calm
I say your name in silence
You don't want to hear it right now
The eyes of the city
Are counting the tears falling down
Each one a promise
Of everything you never found"
"Don't Jump", Tokio Hotel
(In this story, these lyrics are tattooed on Selene's forearm)
The lyrics on my arm ran through my mind as I watched the tall, mysterious figure stand at the edge of the roof. He smiled, seemingly free of all tribulations, and jumped. Immediately, my heart told me to jump after him. By some miracle, I caught up to the jumper and felt my arms wrap around his body. My wings sprung open and we soared towards my apartment. I looked down at his beautiful brown eyes, now stricken with wonder and fear, and at that moment, our souls connected.
Sunbeams shone through the partly opened window and landed on my guest's soft face. The connection from last night had me quite confused. How could this mere human touch my Inner Being with such power and such passion? There seemed to be more to him than met the eye.
The enigmatic young man opened his eyes and looked at me. I had not noticed how handsome he was in the moonlight. My soul wished to move my body towards his and hold him in a lover's embrace, but I held back. He barely knew who I was, let alone what I was.
