At a coffee shop,
For the first time ever, he came to me.
For the first time ever, he told me his name.
For the first time ever, we knew each other.
Without introduction, he came to me as
A companion and a boyfriend.

I was sitting by a large window staring out to
The street feeling blue when he then placed
His soft hand on mine, caressing gently over
My cold skin. Of course, I could not feel his touch
For he has no skin. I could only feel the feeling
Of acceptance and warmth of a hand being held.

It was not strange to me that I could not see him
For he has no body. But I knew he has
A face and a body. Despite being nonvisual,
His presence could still find a way to make a lonely
Girl like me feels loved. His nonphysical presence filled
The void in my chest to feel whole again. It was the
Moment i knew that he came to complete me.

He only exists in my mind. Some day, when
The indicator of my emotion goes low, I feel the
Urge to curl up against someone's body as they
Wrap their arms around me the way a cocoon
Wraps a caterpillar inside. And so I close my eyes.

As my eyelids slam shut over my eyes, the world
Around me turns black. As if the blinds at
The windows drop down, blocking the light from
Entering the room, or a television switching off. Puff!
Darkness is all there is left. Since some of the
Days I had are darker than this, a bit of dark would not
Be a problem.

You see, darkness does not mean nothing. To me,
Sight does not matter in this time. Because in
Darkness, I can feel his embrace. In this
Lightless vision, I feel calm and alive
Inside the cocoon of my imaginative lover
In the auditorium of my fantasy.
