Faceless man

"I love the sky, it looks so beautiful. And these stars, they are the miracle". She said talking to herself one evening when she was distracted by another voice, "I like it this way too." His voice sounded peaceful and magical. That's how her magical fantasy began. They walked together chattering about what felt right. For what seemed after a long time, she was smiling. She was happy and it was evident from her eyes. Her sleepless nights turned into magical ones. Once again, she was dreaming of the man she loved, sleeping wrapped securely in his arms. He was no superhero, but his arms were her safest place. Every morning he would kiss her forehead, making her smile. He would make her days and when she couldn't stand tall he would hold her and make her strong. His laughter was her favorite echo and his smile was her strongest element. Their conversations grew deeper, and the emotion of love took more leaps. Evenings after evenings they spent, all those afternoon meals that they cooked together, his presence that boosted her more made her fantasies go more wider. Then something changed, all that she felt started to fade. She wanted things for real. After all, love was all she ever desired. Dreams began to lessen and her life started the real adventure. Times came when there was no echo or humor. No hand that could hold her still. An afternoon, she cried, she yearned for his comfort when she finally realized that he had gone forever. Solitude never left her side, but she was a learner. She learned to never abandon herself. She lived in happy smiles. Recalling her happy times, she gave distress a harder time. Her own smile made her smile and her words gave her courage. Her hope made her optimistic, she knows not to lose faith. She's a believer as she believes she will someday see her faceless man again. And she knows that they will love the same.
