You Will Be My Wings
I walk down the empty street humming a song in the light of the full moon. I sigh trying to remember the words, but stop as something in an antique shop catches my eye. A mirror, it's silver gleaming in the moons beam. It has a simple serene charm to it. As I peer into my reflection I remember the words.
"I know there's someone, somewhere, who's sure to find me soon." I start singing, for no one was around. "After the rain goes, there are rainbows, I'll find my rainbow soon."
As I dance continuing to sing I search my memory from where it's from… I couldn't have made it up. As I finish I smile into the mirror. Unable to think of where it came from I look at the time. 12:23 A.M.
"I have to go now, It's nearly midnight. But I'll try to come back tomorrow." I say to it, then I bonk my head. "I'm talking to myself I must be going crazy…"
"Maybe but I liked your song.~"
I turn around my face getting red as a man in white, with white hair and a small blue tattoo under his left eye stands there smiling at me.
"Y-you heard me?" I say in anger and embarrassment.
He nods and chuckles. I start to walk away but check the mirror to see if he has a reflection first. I've always been suspicious about vampires…
"Oh, and what are you doing?" He says taking a step closer.
"Checking to see if you're a vampire, or at least if you have a reflection…" I say seeing it and feeling slightly relieved. "So now I should get going."
"Why the rush?" He says already right by me. "I want you to sing again for me, little bird."
'Bird?' I think raising my eyebrow. "And why should I, shady looking man with white hair?"
"Because I want to hear you sing more." He says.
"No thanks." I say turning to go.
I freeze when I hear something that sounds like a flap. I turn around and he as what looks like angel wings. I open my mouth to say something but no words come out.
"You must be envying my wings." He says reviling lavender eyes. "Then, I'll sing if you join along."
Against my better judgment I take his hand and he starts flying with me.
"Let me be your wings. Let me be your only love, let me take you far beyond the stars." he starts singing. "Let me be your wings, let me lift you high above, everything were dreaming of will soon be ours."
The lyrics start popping into my head as he is about to sing them. Where is it from? As he sings my face becomes red and my heart pounds faster.
"Let me be your wings, leave behind the world you know, for another world of wondrous things." I sing with him.
He smiles and we continue singing as we fly, well dance, in the air. He whispers in my ear.
"Heaven isn't too far." He coos.
"Heaven is where you are," I reply as we land.
"Stay with me," We sing in unison. "And let me be your wings."
He looks into my eyes with his lavender ones.
"Will you join me?" He asks put a flower behind my ear.
I smile and hug him.
"Only if you tell me why you decided on singing Thumbelina." I say giggling, happy to remember.
"Because it was fitting." He says as his wings dissapear.
He take my chin and presses his lips to mine. I kiss back blushing but happy. As I open my eyes I see sunlight pouring in my room.
"A Dream?" I say looking at the time. "9:10 A.M. Awww man…"
I groan and pull the covers over my head. Was it really all a dream? Getting up I sing and make my bed. I sigh and reach to my nightstand feeling for a hair tie, but I find a flower. I look at it. A beautiful white orchid, I guess it wasn't a dream, and I hope to see that man again, soon.
