Silhouette

It was a cold morning. The sun had not yet begun to rise and she could only see flecks of gold and pink streaked across the dark mahogany sky. It had been a long day...long week...long year....she had climbed the fire escape in the dark of night. Scaling the building reaching for the stars...Her white dress tangled around her legs as she stood at the edge of the building her toes curled over the thin edge. She breathed in deeply as the icy cold wind tossed her curls around her round face. She tottered backwards and forwards gripping the ledge with her bare feet. Filled with exhaustion she stared out at the horizon willing the sun to rise more quickly. She needed to escape desperately willing the day to be over...Her heart was crumbling into millions of pieces. She had protected her heart for so long holding it gently away from the dangers of the world....Her eyes brimmed with tears and she felt her body begin to shake. Why is the world so cruel?...she wondered...Why do they hate me?...why can't I be like everyone one else I know?...why do I have to be so different?....I have always been considered different...a freak....a monster...I have never felt love as I deserve to....Or maybe I don't deserve to be loved...Maybe my destiny is to be like this FOREVER.....Maybe I am meant to be alone....She felt tears run down her cheeks as she stood tottering over a twelve story drop to the lonely alley bellow. "WHY!!!!!" she screamed her voice echoing throughout the empty streets...or so she thought....But He saw her... through the darkness through the rain He saw her melting in her pain and desperation....She had never seen him before and did not realize that He was watching her from the alley below....His eyes shot upwards as she screamed and He took off running.... She had been run from all her life but He didn't run away...He came clattering up the fire escape and slowly stepped forwards as to not startle her...He spoke is a deep soft voice almost a whisper..."I am here." He whispered His shadows casting His silhouette across the soft gray cement of the roof.. She turned slowly hot tears streaming from her soft brown eyes...."Why do You care?" she yelled "you don't even know me! Stay away from me!" He took another step forwards His eyes piercing her heart as He looked straight into hers locking her into His gaze...."I care for you very much.. much more then you know..." He said in scarcely a whisper. Her eyes flitted away from his startled by His honestly. Was he being honest? How could He care for her when He didn't even know her?... "I don't understand"...she stuttered nervously brushing a few tears off of her face....He approached her slowly but surely... "I understand you"..He whispered..."All of you"..."This world is a cruel place...I have been hated by so many....I was different then everyone else I was considered weird and a freak... My purpose was to show this world TRUE LOVE...yet everyone rejected Me spit at Me and called Me names.....I was so feared and despised that I was killed for YOU not so that YOU can experience the TRUE LOVE you deserve but UNCONDITIONAL LOVE regardless of who you are or what you have done".... He was so close to her now she could feel His warmth cutting through the freezing winds "How can You be dead?" She asked..."Your standing right here." A small smile formed on His lips. "I rose again." He calmly whispered. "Because I am the Son that you are so desperately searching for...I am the light to pierce your darkness...I love you so much that I was willing to die for you... You don't understand how much I love you....I don't want to see you hurt yourself any more because I LOVE YOU.... so much...You can never understand the depth of my love for you"....He slowly stretched His hand out towards her gesturing for her to take it....She slowly inched away from the edge and slipped her hand into his. "I know"...she whispered back tears running down her face...."some how I know" He pulled her further in towards the middle of the roof away from the edge..."He pulled her into his arms and softly kissed her...."I LOVE YOU"....He whispered in her ear...she nodded gently. And He held her in His strong arms filling her with unconditional love until the morning...The Son rose and she felt true love for the first time......
