Aura of Another Kind

While talked he would laugh sending a thrill up my spine and goose bumps on my skin. We had so much in common. We both loved to dance, he knew so much about astronomy which really got me excited. Hiking and music were also nailed. What was there not to like?

“So beautiful, how about we leave this place and take a walk on the beach? I really would like to know you a little better.”

“Sure, I don't think anyone would miss me here anyway.”

We walked down to the dock and it was a beautiful night. I wanted to kiss him so badly but there was something about him that stopped me.

“Can I hold your hand?”

“Okay.”

He took my hand and as he did there was more than a skin on skin feeling to it. It was like the same feeling as kissing by just a touch. I felt incredibly stupid as I blushed and felt clammy. I dated many guys before and never had this reaction, ever!

The moon was bright that night and it illuminated the waters like crystal. I glanced at him without turning my head and noticed his bone structure was so different. It was like a human but not quite as strong. He must of felt me looking because he turned towards me and in the moon light his pupils shifted shape. I couldn't imagine him not realizing it or maybe he didn't, but that was the moment I realized he could not be human. Yet I couldn't say for sure, but it was odd as all get out.

“So how are you liking my company? Do I make you nervous?”

“Um-no? Why would I be nervous? You are so charming and it's like we are the same person in different bodies. That's how close i feel to you. Is that weird of me to say?” As those words were coming out of my mouth it was as though an echo of my own voice surrounding the air around us.

“Well yes we are aren't we? So much in common. I love spending this time with you. You make me feel so important, so human.”

I laughed and slapped him on the back, “You are human silly. You are human right?” I had my doubts but wanted to make light of the situation. That's when he backed away from me and I saw him. I mean I saw it, or him. I wasn't sure. There was a glow about him almost like an aura but it was visual to me. I wasn't afraid of him what so ever.

“Can I tell you something?”

“Sure, we came this far.” He sat me down and took both of my hands and looked deep within my eyes. He didn't speak but I heard him. Astounded by his natural voice. It was more of a rhythm that I understood.

When he let go of me I felt lost. I wanted to hold his hands again and feel that connection. It was so strange and I couldn't make sense of it. Could two people feel this strongly about each other and not belong?

All of this happened in one evening and we talked all that night into the wee hours of the morning. That's when we said good bye. He didn't say I wouldn't see him again, but I knew I probably wouldn't. There was no kiss and I didn't need one. It was electrical in just a touch.

Following days later I was walking in the park and decided to go back to that place we were. I wanted to feel his warmth again. That special something that I have never felt with anyone in my life.

Of course the beach was empty and he wasn't there. There was no sign of him anywhere. I could never replace that. Off in my own thoughts I realized I wasn't alone. There was a guy sitting not too far from me. He looked lost. I walked slowly towards him and asked him if he was lost.

“Lost, no I'm not lost. I just arrived. Just not sure what I am supposed to do next.”

“You mean you just moved here? You have no where to go?” Oddly I felt the same aura with this man as I did with .. oh my word! I didn't even have a name for that guy!

“No I didn't move here. It's only a short mission. I'm supposed to connect with a human and test the skills of our power to reach them.”

“I don't understand.” It was then that he turned to me and I saw his eyes turn into that cat shape of a pupil. I saw his aura. I couldn't leave because if this feels like the last time, I wanted it.

I held out my hands and knew he would comply. I felt it again! That interaction between two strangers of different worlds. It was like deep meditation to almost the feeling of love making through the mind. Crazy as it sounds I just can't explain it. Two separate beings of their planet left me feeling empty when they left.

My mission now is to keep coming back to this place and some day do it again Only this time I will beg for them to take me with them. Honestly there has been nothing here on Earth that has ever made me feel that safe, connected and beyond. I can't ever compare that experience with another human being. Sad as it is, how will I ever fall in love after this? There is no challenge now. That kind of kindred spirit just doesn't happen here. My destiny has become a reality I will never be able to reach.
