The Tainted Snowflake
-
It's snowing again; I always find the eerie silence while the snow falls to be intoxicating, a time in which I can gather my thoughts and when I feel most calm and relaxed. It's so peaceful and beautiful, the silence and the snow.
I always wondered why all sound ceased when the frozen flakes fell, it's as if nothing else matters except those little pieces of cool water, delicately falling to the ground. No…wait. They don't fall, their movement is far too graceful…they float, tiny wisps of white floating around for a while, spinning around becoming dizzy before finally reaching their destination.
I love the snow; winter is my favourite time of the year. I can sit outside here, and although I'm chilled to the bone I could sit staring at these perfect flakes forever. I have lost all feeling in my hands, yet I will sit out here for a while longer.
Although I have to wonder, since the sky is so dark, how can something so pure and innocent such as a snowflake be born from the depths of the ebony skies? I tilt my head back and stare upwards, watching the flakes float down to meet me, landing on the tip of my nose.
Their relationship is kind of like a Yami and Hikari relationship; the darkness withholds the pure flakes until a time when they have to let go. But by this time the flakes are tainted, now imperfect…cold.
Maybe that is what he will do to me? Is it already too late? Have I been tainted by my dark?
And more to the point…do I really mind?
His embrace makes me feel warm and loved; I could never give something like that up. And as I sit in here, lying in his lap as he dozes lightly, I stare out of the window at the tainted snowflakes; they're all cold and lonely…
…I am warm and loved.
