[ WP ] An immortal angel falls in love with a mortal human .

`` But what if my beauty fades, wo n't you get tired of looking at me?'' She asked with her head lowered, looking as she stacked he left foot atop the other and twirling her thumbs. She has the flower dress on with the matching sandals, all made from fabrics I collected over time. 
 
 `` No matter how you look physically I can only see you for what's inside. I never could see peoples physical features but I've always been interested in their spirits and yours is the most fascinating I've ever seen.'' I lift her head by her chin so that our eyes meet. 
 
 She looks away. 
 
 `` What is it, what's wrong?'' Making sure she knows the concern is not just present but genuine as well. `` What's the matter?'' 
 
 Tears. Not what I expected. I've never experienced this....pain... each tear she cries it's me lime a ton of bricks. 
 
 `` Please, Claire, just look at me.'' 
 
 `` I ca n't. I could never... look you in the eye....because every time I do I see... you and me... together....happy.....I see us....dating....getting married....me getting older and you stuck at perfect....starting a family giving birth to 3 perfect children and growing into perfect young adults while I grow old and you all stay frozen in time. Never looking any older than this very moment. That visual puts so much....stress on a girl. To love you would come with a heavy price to pay. And if I did n't have to see it I'd gladly spend the rest of my days living in your perfection.'' 
 
 She keeps her head turned away. 
 
 `` Do YOU know what I see when I look at you? I see someone that I would give up the rest of eternity just for 5 more minutes with you. A beauty so infectious that it puts historic monuments to shame. A smile so bright, it makes the sun nothing more than a candle in a dark auditorium. And a heart so full of love nothing else can corrupt it. That's what I see, and if this be the last time I see it than every second of every day will mean nothing. `` 
 
 I wonder if she believes me, I would give anything just to see what she is thinking. This person who, in my world, would be nothing more than a pawn. And yet I am completely incapable of not loving her. 
 
 `` But I'm not perfect, I curse, I get angry, I can be kinda lazy-'' 
 
 `` For as long as I've been around, I've never felt about anyone the way I do you and I ca n't see a future without you. If you look me in my eyes, you'll see that.'' 
 
 She slowly looks up and in one eye, the faces of past encounters flash by but in the other there is nothing....just darkness... a hollow void. 
 
 I leaned for and kiss her forehead and hug her 
 
 ``....can you promise me that you will never leave me. And that when I die, the kids are well taken care of? If you can promise me that... I'll be yours.'' 
 
 I do he one better... our eyes meet and after a matter of seconds she kisses me. I showed her a vision of her tombstone with mine next to her. 
 
 `` I ca n't give up my immortality but I can spend the rest of it right next to you.'' 
 
 I show her and me as I take he spirit to the afterlife. We kiss and the pearly gates close right behind us. 
 
 `` Is that something you can live with?''
