I love you, from the angel’s perspective.
I love you, the angel thinks to themselves gently and harshly simultaneously. It is a bizarre feeling and it can even be a frustrating one, riding up the spine in the form of a gross chill which sends little bumps across the arms and knots the stomach up. They cross their arms and furrow their eyebrows, their heart suddenly feeling more obvious than before and their breaths feeling hotter than before.
What are the implications of this? One foot falls forward and soon the other, a wave of the hand and a flutter of the eyelids. They feel as if they are dying and living at the same time. Their words fail to fall correctly from their once silver tongue and their face turns to reds and pinks only comparable to a sunset. Their spirit has never experienced this before, but their temporary biology resists this fact in the pursuit of a blend of feelings that make up the painting of the term “love”.
What is the meaning of this? An angel once adorned in black with sharp eyes melts away into a more gentle form, moving how they might if they were not so stuck in a mortal form. They feel fluid again, yet they fight against it because it is just as foreign as eating or sickness or working to live. This is not a slow, methodical thing. This is not their normal and that makes it all the more intense. Their eyes twinkle at the thought of you and they become mystified by your soul, pulling you close in their minds and twirling you with their fingers before putting a hand against your waist and a kiss against your head. Flesh, a feeling so divine, like an alien meeting a human for the very first time and truly experiencing its value with lost eyes. You make them feel like an angel and a human at the same time, and it enraptures them. You are the thorns and the rose all at once, sweet but painful. You are their new muse, a study of the body and mind and soul, for you are a masterpiece to them worth taking the time to understand.
You make them feel more human than they could ever feel before, entangled in the very chemistry that built this carbon based form and yet you also remind them of how it felt to cross dimensions and graze the stars with their fingertips just by touching you, hearing you, seeing you. How lucky you are, to capture the many eyes of an angel. But be wary dear soul for if you fall for them back and fall into the same trance, you will never taste anything else quite like it as though the finest wine in existence has just been dropped against your tongue. The risk of obsession rides upon these waves of red and gold as they dance and dance with you until one day, they might let go. They learn the pain of what it means to fall in love with a more temporary soul than they are, and the meaning of falling *out* of love or heartbreak.
These are the implications of an angel learning what love not only means, but how it is to experience it and the aftermath of that experience.
