The strings finally cut, from both sides, it’s just the two of us now here our thumbs spinning
You and me, the Angel and the Demon, nothing odd there, just like we wanted from the very beginning
No Heaven, no Hell to guide us, no tasks nor miracles or even temptations to cast
Just being our own masters, that is all an etherial could for ever ask
There is a slight snag though, in this eternal pie of ours
The one thing we two really have not so much talked about
The one of the spoken word out loud, the one starting with the letter ‘L’
And then ending with the letter ‘E’, something neither of seem to be able to tell
Yes, we are more than frenemies, more than regular partners, more than friends even
This something never having been a question, nor a need to state, being a thing given
Alas, there is more there, brewing beneath the surface, something guess always having been there present
The feeling so strong, neither of us able to deny it, despite the word never spoken out loud having seemed, inadequate, perhaps even wrong?
So, what now, my Dear Darling Demon, are the two of us do?
Except perhaps spring on a fancy winged flight up to where ever we want, out there, to the blue?
I know we talk about Us a lot, everything we own we do literally share
My shop, your car, my time, your divine… my heart, my love…
Oops!
Too much?
Sorry!
I did not want to overshare!
Yes, it did all slip in there, those feelings never easy to hide, not to me at least, I think?
And why would we? Now that there is no need for us from anyone to hide anymore, only letting those sensations in sink?
What do you say, my sweetest of deities, my etherial Demon of a Snake
What say you, if we finally the truth to each other confess and make this all official, not ever again pretending it is all fake?
Well, all I can say is, I do hear ya, my sugary Angel, my reason for being
Yes, I know I said it that way, but is the truth, and there is no longer that denying
So, why not indeed make this all official, just the two of us, like we always wanted
Let’s do it the human way, marry each other, even if it means for all eternity to be, enchanted?
Are you saying what I think you’re saying my sweet sweet Demon Snake?
Is this a proposal, of a marriage, or the more as we certainly are, the more, am I right or should I still hesitate?
Yes, my Angel, My Angel like you always have been, especially made for me
And there is no denying, I know it to be the very truth, deep deep inside of, well, me!
And so, here I am, on one rickety ancient knee, asking for you, My Angel, My Love, to become the other half of this existence
The one always having been there, no matter what, but from now on, always and forever, without any kind of resistance?
How can I resist such a gorgeous request, then again, I would never dare to suggest
That ours was nothing more short of perfection, the love there made for the other, even if it took us a while to get here, an eternity I guess?
And so, here was are, ready to take the plunge from the very edge of the world
Flying high up together, our feathers intertwined, to each other forever tethered
