Every Heart
He was a doll, just as everyone predicted him to be. A life-sized angel, grasping chains of Twizzler-like licorice, balancing on a vanilla wafer seat in the clouds. The fluffy formations around him resembled spun sugar, cotton candy shapes circling around his swing set as if they were to be his dessert after a merry day of play. He luxuriated in the warmth of it all, the mellow banana rays of the sun, the blueberry sky surrounding him, the sweet scent of spring teasing his nose like the aroma of freshly baked pies sitting on a windowsill. Nevertheless, he was the most delicious delicacy of all there, a darling little cherub with chocolate brown eyes, pecan-colored hair, skin with more milk in it than Godiva candy, and a charming smile decorating his face more brilliantly than any wedding cake.
Yes, anyone would be lucky to have him; his dear one would thank every wishing star in heaven just to hold him. However, he could not be everyone's sweetheart. He couldn't be just anyone's special someone, either. There was only one treasured soul for him, just for him, and for that reason alone, he considered himself taken.
Who could it be, though? Who could the dashing diva be? Only the tiny, childlike entity knew. The adorable smile he showed hid more than sentiments of sweet nothings.
But I'm going to change that. He said to the sky, batting his long lashes as he rocked to and fro. I have a plan that'll make that happen. Soon everyone will know the one I love. Soon everyone-and I mean everyone-will know how lucky I truly am.
True to his word, the lovely seraph wiggled his wings, giggling as the feathers brushed the tender surface of his back. Golden glitter fell from his movements in a majestic shower, raining from behind him like the edible shimmers pastries have. Down, down they fell, the glistening spectacle drifting on the wind, hanging on every breath the breeze blew. It must have been quite a sight to see, a gorgeous, near ethereal image to imagine.
But who was the extraordinary show for? Who was this stellar experience performed to impress? Yes, only the little angel knew, and, only he could tell.
Peering over his shoulder, the cute creature watched his creation take place. There, right before his eyes, the gleaming sparkles mixed with the sunshine, stretching across the heavens in a big beautiful banner. Then, they arched in a wonderful rainbow, each color of the spectrum bursting with the flavor of life, joyously banding together to celebrate the unity of love, peace, and happiness. With a blink of his lashes, they spelled the name of his one and only, disclosing his secret to the world below.
"Je vous aime, Mon Amour." he whispered softly, sweetly, almost melodically. "I really do love you."
Listening to the name of his loved one echo in the wind, he rejoiced in the ecstasy of his emotions, content with the devotion that every heart in love feels.
