Bliss
Fireflies, she never appreciated their beauty until that night. They were just another part of nature. Something she took for granted like many others.
Perhaps, it was the environment where she grew up. Or maybe it had more to do with the toxicity that filled half of her adult life. She couldn't pinpoint the reason.
Regardless, they now held a lot of sentimental value to her. How could they not when her second chance began with them?
She truly didn't expect it. His spontaneous actions were unforgettable. She always thought she loved him enough, but by the Heavens, she fell in love even deeper.
Her love could no longer be described in words. He became the very reason of her existence. Perhaps it was risky to love someone like that. But how could she not love him when he taught her to love herself?
Although she didn't die physically, she had died emotionally. She had withered away, with nothing left to give to the world.
