Lily Girl

A breeze brushes against my neck. I hear a soft voice calling out my name. The blood in my veins starts to run scared. It's calling me over and over. I stand still as if I were a statue of some sort. My knees have officially locked and I can no longer feel my body. Limb from limb, everything is numb. In a field of lilies surrounding me, I feel the breeze again: this time it's telling me to wait. How can this be? Chills tremble up and down my spine. The hairs on my neck stand on edge. Breathing every last breath like my last, I start to feel dizzy. My mind sends me into a trance. All I can see is this girl. Her face is blurred and her body is weak. She stands before me. Oh how I long to see her face, just one glance. I can tell she's been crying. Her makeup is running down her sweet soft cheeks & she looks like she's been broken for awhile. She reaches out her shivering, lifeless hand in my direction. I feel my feet moving, yet she is still the same distance away from me. I cannot get close to her. What does this mean? I call out to her once. She doesn't respond. It echoes in the sun. I call out again, still no reply. She is only staring at me like she's seen a ghost. Can she hear me? I call again in hopes of change, but nothing happens. She still just stands there. All I can think about is what one touch of those lips would be like, one embrace in her arms. Her wretched beauty impales my thoughts to know more about this girl. I wish to know every inch of her. I can see the sadness weighing down her body. I would like to be the levers that lifts those weights and sets her free. Even though I do not know who she is, I feel this pull about her. I think she is the one for me. Iver never felt like this before. I can't look away. I wonder, what brought me here? Is this a trick? Everything is still. Gracefully, walking on the lilies that lie beneath her feet, she starts to slowly fade away, her gown blowing behind her in sync with the wind. My mind says to run from this dream; my heart says to follow this beautiful girl. As far as I know, she could be a figment of my imagination and if so, I would like to live in this land chasing her until my feet become one with the ground from trying so hard.
The wind begins to pick up again; I can feel myself fading back to the real world. I don't want to go back; I have to know who she is. I have to know what brought me here and why I feel the way I do around her. I have to feel, and kiss her. My chest feels like it's about to implode while my heart feels like it's about to explode. My body gets hot and I'm suddenly in a panic. I can't breathe straight anymore. Tears are draining from my eyes and I yell out to her once more to come back. I need her here with me. Why am I feeling like this? I don't know her, yet I cannot live without her.
The wind suddenly stops and I feel my hand being touched so softly. Only have I ever dreamed to be touched like I was someone's entire universe. The thought of turning around crosses my mind so quickly, yet I hesitate to move in case of returning to the real world and losing this trance over me. I hear a whisper in my ear, "wait for me". I turn around and there she is...
Right before my eyes, her face is no longer blurry. Nor is she crying anymore. She is raw, her face is bare skinned and she looks like an angel from the clouds. I gaze into her lily orange eyes and we connect on a whole never level. Everything seems to blossom around us when we look at each other with love in our hearts. The blood in my veins is slowing down and I can feel the passion lift me up into a different light. "I, I think I love you", I said to her as I grasped her hand and put it to my beating heart. She said to me in a voice soaked with tears of joyous passion, "you saved me".
