Everything started off in less than vivid shades of black, grey, and white. Sunsets were beautiful because they were natural phenomena, but colorless ones that didn’t seem bland until I met you. Staring at stars was a nightly ritual for me. The stars were magical and because of that they were beautiful. I didn’t know then that I hadn’t known real beauty. Then, I met you. The sea had always been a vast wonder, but I didn’t know the deepness of it’s colors. I only knew that when I looked down upon it I could see my reflection and when I looked out at it’s lengths I would feel so small.
People told me that the texture of money and the reflective property of gold were the characteristics of the only things that make happiness real. I had seen sunsets, star-filled night skies, and the sea, the seemingly endless sea, but I still believed their theory of real happiness. Then, I met you.
You were glowing lavender and I instantly fell in love with color. In the first moment, like the medieval, I declared that you were etheric; the composition of everything I had ever seen and known. You filled up all of the space in between the stars and made them. You made up the moon, the sun, and earth for me. I could now see the sunset in all of it’s radiant colors and the contrast of the sparkling stars against the midnight sky, but now your lavender aura preceded the beauty of the world. Even the blues and greens I could finally see that flowed and crashed against the unforgiving sand in foamy white wonder wasn’t enough for me. All because when I looked down on the sea’s glass-like surface I could no longer see the reflection of myself. I could only see the reflection of you staring back at me. It’s lengths were no longer enough to make me feel small because meeting you made me feel so enormously full of love.
Meeting you showed me that those people were oblivious. There was no way they had ever experienced true love because all I had to do was meet you to know the characteristics of what actually makes happiness real.
