"Your soul is a beautiful thing, child. No emperor ever received so fair a gift."

The epitome of "So close and yet so far awaaaaaay!" :lol:

I'ma color this here thang purdy soon. :) I just liked the original sketch. I based it off of a screencap from "Bright Star" (which I STILL haven't seen. Angry me is angry.)

EDIT Saw Bright Star. Died inside. Cried for two hours. Love John Keats forever. Life is complete.

This is a wonderful piece! it hardly needs color to covey the deep longing in this scene. However i am curious; Do you intend to create a colored version?

"Involuntarily I stride the glass, pressing my aching fingers against reflective cage. She looks back at her door, as though assuring herself it is locked. Her eyes hold fear yet they also give off a potent mix of pain and need. I long to call out, to ask what hurts her, but I must remain mute and avoid another moment of terror.

I see her breathe with specific technique, expanding her diaphragm with deliberate preparation. Sing? Is she planning to sing in the solitude of her dressing room? This is completely illogical, her practices have concluded, there is no plausible reason for her to release her lovely voice.

Peering with purpose at my concealed hiding place, her glorious tone soars.

"Fate links me to thee forever and a day."

I gasp at the enrapturing sound, but more so at her chosen selection. She cannot mean…? But why else would she sing the very words I sang to her? To my amazement she walks to the glass and presses her tiny hands against the barrier. They rest against the exact placement of my palms, as thought she sensed me. Then very slowly, she presses a kiss against the cold surface.

"I miss you, ange," she whispers.

I can't breathe, suffocating in my own doubting disbelief. How could she miss me? Why does she torture me with words that make my fists tense to shatter the glass to take her? My arms tremor with the restraint it requires to remain still.

Then it surges through me, singing through my veins: hope. My lips stretch into a smile beneath my mask. Yes, forever and day, Christine. Longer, more eternally vast will I await you. Fate links us and the hope of our future will sustain me. Tolerate me, no, my angel misses me. If she can feel such an emotion I can fight forever for her and never believe a second wasted.

My darling, my light, my salvation.

I will wait."

~Section from I Will Wait, written in Erik's POV

Every time I see this picture I think about that moment, so beautiful, yet so sad. Words cannot describe how much I adore your work.

~Much love,
