My Christmas Miracle

"Christmas isn't about the presents...

It isn't about the snow that falls...

It isn't about the warm fire to curl up next to...

It isn't about the songs we sing...

and it's not about the food or candy...

It's about love.

Whether you're religious or not, it still stays the same

...

Our hearts yearn for others

To love and be loved

and without someone to care for, to hold near, then what is Christmas?

Christmas is where your heart is. It's a place of joy and bliss.

It's a feeling that you rarely feel. Like a moment in time, frozen in a lullaby.

This is what I feel with Scafen, like my broken heart has found a place it belongs.

This long poem below is for you, Scafen.

I know I can never truly express my feelings towards you, so I'm going to try to write it in the way I know best. A poem

You are my warm fire, my snowy night, and the best present a dragon could wish for.

I will never leave you, and I will always love you.

You are the world which my soul yearns for. Here's my present to you~"

?Merry Christmas Everyone!~

Down below you'll find a romantic poem I've written for my love, Scafen.

The poem and art is a surprise present to him, so I hope he likes it~

This writing will be a lot different than my other stories because I find this type of writing expresses more emotion.

I hope you enjoy, but most of all I hope you have an amazing Christmas with the ones that love you. You are treasured.

As I was writing this song I was listening to a song by the Pentatonix that always gives me the feels. I would suggest listening to it lightly while reading.

My Christmas Miracle.

I look at this computer screen, and I see the dragon behind it

I know that face behind the screen. I love him

I think about our future, the Christmas we could share.

I can close my eyes and just picture it now...

My Christmas Miracle.

Opening my eyes in the morning, looking over my shoulder at the handsome dragon next to me.

Hearing your warming voice that only you can bring to my soul.

I can imagine us waking up and running downstairs together, paw-in-paw as we blush.

We'd rush to the Christmas tree and find it surrounded with various presents we'd bought for each other.

We'd both sit down and eat a quick breakfast and then soon after take a seat on the couch.

We'd tell stories and thank each other for the presents.

...

But in reality, the presents meant nothing to us.

It meant nothing to me.

Because you are already all I need

My Christmas Miracle

We'd walk outside in the snow, looking into each others eyes as we stared up at the snow sprinkling down in slow motion.

I'd turn my face to yours and smile warmly at you, letting a tender paw cup your cheek.

I'd then jump up with you, and with our paws around each other, both of us giggling from the awkward position, we'd start dancing

We'd rub noses, and take slow steps as the snow fell, watching as you cried in happiness.

My Christmas Miracle

I'd lick your tears and cry with you out of happiness as.

After that we'd finally go back inside, curling our tails around each other.

You'd walk towards the bedroom, swishing your tail, but then look back at me in confusion as I told you to come over.

I'd then point above the doorframe and you'd blush

A mistletoe.

We'd both blush deeply, and then our gazes would soften, just admiring each other in the Christmas lighting.

I'd have to reach up my neck, since you were so tall, and close my eyes with yours.

Then, I'd slowly bring my muzzle up to yours, and in a passionate moment that I wish would never end...

We kissed.

I never thought someone would love me enough to do that...

And yet you love me, and I can't believe it. I really can't...

My Christmas Miracle

You cry with me again as we pull back from the kiss.

I'd fall onto the couch in tears, completely shaking in confusion and shock at why you'd love me

And you'd comfort me, cuddling me closely.

Soon after we'd head to the bedroom and see where that took us.

But what does this have to do with anything?

What should I take out of this?

...

Should I be happy and just say nothing?

No.

No I can't. You are worth so so so so much to me, and I want to tell you your worth to me. Truly.

So here below is how far and wide my love for you is.

I'm not making this up. I truly feel this, Scafen. I love you and I want you forever. I know I do.

I can't imagine my life without you

You have given me a hope that I thought I'd never have

That I thought... I shouldn't deserve.

And yet you do.

You've given me the life I've always wanted

You've pushed me to face the danger so that I can grasp the hope at the end of it

Now, because of you my life is in the best place I could ever be

I truly wouldn't want anything different.

But when I hear your doubts... Your worries about us, I tear up

Because I know that I've already chosen you

That's why I kissed you that one night. I knew it back then

Maybe I'm crazy, and I know it's been short so far...

_But_my heart calls for YOU

Every minute I think about you and how I yearn to feel your touch again

How I yearn to cuddle with you, to make your dreams come true

I cannot live this life without you, Scafen

I write these words and I'm trying to think what to say to make this happen!

I want you! I've chosen it! You're worth it to me.

I just wish time could pass so you could say the same for me.

But it will take time

And I will wait as long as it takes. I will wait because I care for you

That. That is what Christmas is about. It's about showing your love to one another

I need to show you my love in words.

I know you, Scafen. Everything you do is unique to you.

You are an elaborate puzzle piece that I LOVE trying to put together~

Every second I think, "That's my Scafen. My love. He wants me!~"

I don't think I deserve it, but I know I want it

And you need to know I'd give it all for you

Babe, I already have.

And I would drop everything to save you if you were in trouble.

I mean this.

I will never_leave you or abandon you._

I will stay by your side, and work through any problems we have

We may not know everything... and we may have desires unmet if we choose to stay together

But I'd absolutely miss out on a few things then to miss out on the most extraordinary, extravagant, impossible miracle that you are~

To miss out on the life that I've always dreamed of, the life that I want to live with you

You have stolen my heart, Scafen.

One day, this picture you see drawn above can become real.

WE can make it happen

This is OUR future.

We can choose.

And I choose you.

One day we'll have our first Christmas together, buy a tree and lights.

We'll light a fire in the fireplace, and dance outside in the snow

Then we'll go inside and share a the most intimate kiss under the mistletoe

This can be our future. I will do everything I can to make it possible.

You. Are. Worth it.

You are my miracle.

This season is about love, and I can't live without telling you these things.

I could go on forever, and maybe I'll write something longer on a personal message to you later... But I want the world to know that this is what love is... This is how I feel for you, a male like myself, and I'm not ashamed

I'm so happy!~

You are the one I want, and I'll wait.

I love you, Scafen.

Merry Christmas

My Christmas Miracle.

To anyone who's still reading, please. Stop what you're doing and love your family.

They won't be there forever... I've already lost mine...

Show them how much you love them. Cherish them like I cherish my mate.

Make them know they're loved.

And have a Merry Christmas
