My bare feet slap against the hot pavement as I run down the walking path. Trees rush past me as my white summer dress flows behind me elegantly and my blonde hair glides through the breeze. The small necklace I always wear around my neck gently thumps against my chest with each step. A smile is painted on my face delicately with the brush of life.
My feet turn off onto the dirt path strewn with pebbles and twigs. A tree snags at my dress, almost causing it to rip, but I don’t care. I feel like I could just jump into the air, and wings would spread from my shoulder blades and I could fly into the sunset. My feet step on sharp twigs that jab into the skin of my feet, but I don’t care. As my feet pound against the ground, the soft soil turned into hard rock. I stop dead in my tracks.
I place my hand over my forehead, blocking the summer sun out of my eyes. I look across the small stream to the island, sweeping my eyes across the trees and bushes. My smile starts to fade a little with disappointment when I don’t see him. I search again and again when suddenly his figure comes out of the trees, looking left and right. My smile comes back instantly, and I run through the stream towards him, his happiness radiating off of him.
The water splashes up as my feet rush through the tiny current. The cool water feels wonderful with the hot sun beating down on me. Once he is in range, I leap into his strong arms that wrap me like a blanket.
He twirls me around, the hem of my shirt flapping in the wind. Nothing else matters to me now that I’m with him. He slowly puts me down, and kisses me slowly and passionately with his soft lips. We break off, and out eyes gaze deeply into one another’s. A smile is stretched across my face as I take my hands down from his shoulders and intertwine one of his into my own.
His hand slips from mine as he mouths the words along with signing slowly, “How are you feeling today my angel?” I know that his lips aren’t just moving, they’re saying words that I can’t hear.
“Perfect, now that you’re here.” I sign quickly, giggling lightly at his struggling to make his gestures flow smoothly. Since the first day we met, he’s been trying to learn how to sign, just so that he could communicate with me in my own language.
I was born deaf in one ear, and the other ear was partially deaf. I learned sign language my whole life, along with examining how lips moved to each word that would be said. Slowly, as I got older, my partial deaf ear lost all hearing abilities, and I soon became completely deaf around the age of 10.
He slowly bent down and kissed both ears in a gentle way, then enveloping me in a tight hug. He wishes I were able to hear him again, to be able to hold a flowing conversation.
“Something. I. Show. You?” he signed, struggling with trying to communicate and concentration on his face.
I nod lightly, smiling. I hold out my hand for him to guide me. His gentle fingers slip between mine and lock my hand inside of his. He walks slowly through the trees, holding tree branches out of the way for me to walk along the path with ease. Then, he opened up the last tree branches to reveal a brilliant meadow.
I gasp a little at the beauty of the sight. A stream of water trickles down rocks in a small waterfall. Tall grass fills the land with purple and pink flowers. There’s no sign of any human setting foot here. Trees surround the area like a barrier from evil, keeping the heavenly sight trapped safely inside.
He takes my hand gently, bringing me to the center of the tall grass. There, a tiny clearing of all grass was flattened into a gentle bed, with a circle of rocks and flowers set into a beautiful pattern. He sits down, and gently pulls me down, the two of us sitting together with our hands intertwined.
“Here. Found. I.” He signed, struggling to make the slightest bit of sense, “You like?” he questioned with a smile.
“I love it. It’s beautiful. Thank you.” I signed, trying to sign it with signs that he knew and understood. I flopped onto my back and spread out my arms. I looked up into the brilliant clouds that produced shapes.
He bent over me, and kissed me gently on the forehead, then plopped down beside me with a smile. He picked a flower gently from beside him carefully, and tucked it behind my ear. We watched the clouds roll away together until the stars shone brightly in the sky.
With the stars came the cool air and chilling breeze.
I turned into him and snuggled into his chest and closed my eyes with a relaxing sigh. His arms wrapped around me like a blanket. He kissed me on the forehead gently, and then let out a small sigh as well. Together, we were relaxed and at ease. Together, we fell asleep, wrapped in each others arms.
