She drifts in upon the wings of a soft summer Night's breeze.
Not knowing her life would change.
Carefree, laughing, loving, her eyes are as bright as her hopes,
She revels in everything she sees, everything she does.
He watches her closely from the shadows, his eyes never leaving her.
But why,  what is it about her?
She seems to enchant those that are near her,
He is lost in her captivation, but has yet to speak to her.
His thoughts reach out to her, willing her to return each night.
She knows not why, yet night after night she returns.
She senses something, what is it about this place, why is she drawn here?
Each night she searches, but for what she knows not..
The sweetness of her laughter, the warmth of her heart,
Calls out to the coldness of his mind, his heart.
As she roams the room, spreading her gaiety to all that she meets...
Her eyes finally fall upon him.....and she knows.
He is why she is here, He is what she has sensed.
He does not look away, his eyes dark and cold, longing for her warmth.
She is no longer aware of anything or anyone around her, only Him.
She feels as if she is falling into his eyes of darkness, the coldness surrounds her,
Yet she is unafraid, she reaches out to him, longing to be with him,
To caress his cold heart...with the warmth of her very being, her soul.
She speaks softly to him, her voice music to his ears, her touch nearly sets him afire.
She awakens something in him he thought was lost to him forever.
He must have her, he yearns for her to be at his side through all of eternity.
Dare he take her there?  Condemn her to the life that he lives?
Will She accept the gift that he gives her or will She hate him for all of eternity?
As he speaks to her, she is lost in the serenity of his words.
She finds a softness among the coldness, the darkness of the night that envelopes him.
She knows He is her life. She draws near to him of her own free will,
Offering all that she is to him. He can no longer fight his urge...
As he takes her, he feels her life's blood surge throughout  him,
Filling his soul with a warmth he has not known for a long time.
As he looks down at her, watching her die, he realizes....
She did not struggle, there was no fear.
She gazes up at him as the last of her life slips away and She smiles.
Now...He knows, They will walk through Eternity together.
