She wakes up in the middle of a flower sea. She wonders where she is. She looks down and is surprised because she never saw this beautiful dress that she is wearing. It is made by white linen, with blood red roses woven into the fabric.

She sits among the flowers. The wind plays with her long, curly red hair, her cheeks are rosy, and her beautiful green eyes wide opened.
While she closes her eyes again, she inhales the scent of fresh air. Birds sing their tune and butterflies dance around the flowers.

She wonders why she isn't afraid and tries to understand what happens. It is impossible, it seems, her brain doesn't want her to think clearly. She feels like dancing and her upper body starts moving as if she is listening to music.

"Yes, my love dance for me," she hears a dark but also warm manly voice.
She feels a kind of excitement, and she is curious to see the man, but she doesn't try to open her eyes. She isn't afraid. She doesn't feel danger, but she feels, she has to keep the eyes closed.

"You are so beautiful within your dress", he whispers into her ears. His lips are close, she feels his breath caresses her neck. "Let me lead you into the world of imagination and love. Please, give me your hand and trust me", he whispers again and she feels a cold shudder running down her spine. She feels how he is covering her eyes with an eye-mask, gives him her hand and follows him.

"Who are you", she asks but he doesn't answer.
He leads her to a room of a house. It smells like exotic fruits and food.
"May I remove the mask?" she asks. "No", he says. "I want you to see me with your soul, with your heart, not with your eyes."
"I will feed you", he says and gives her piece for piece the most delicious food, she ever had eaten in her entire life.

He understands to entertain her very well, he is very smart and he has wit.
She is fascinated by his voice and his manner to set his words.
She loves his music choice, it's playing quietly in the background during dinner.
"Dance with me", he whispers with a rough voice, takes her hand and puts his arm around her. She feels his body close to her body, his movements are soft but manly. She smells his scent and she is wishing this dance never would end.
She lays her head on his shoulder and it feels like heaven.

She doesn't know if she's awake or if she is dreaming but it doesn't matter, she feels comfortable, secure and she is very excited.

"You are my dream", she hears his voice, "may I kiss your lips?" She doesn't answer but she lifts her head, her heart beats very quickly. She wants to feel his kisses. His lips meet her's and it meets her like an electric hit. With weak knees, she leans on his chest. "Where have you been all the past time?", she asks and tears run through the mask over her cheeks.

He kisses away her tears with his lips. "I have been always here", he whispers, "always here".

"Who are you?", she asks again.

"Don't you remember me?", he asks back. "My name is LOVE. I lived inside you for long but then you have forgotten me and I moved out. You have not noticed it but there is another one who never left you.  His name is longing and he's the reason why you are here with me now. It's time to take off the mask now".

She takes off the mask and finds herself still sitting in the midst of the flower-sea.
His voice becomes silent but she still feels his last kiss on her lips like a light breeze of wind.
