I sat here stargazing with my lover right beside me. The view is beautiful today I wish the stars are like this back home. "My love it looks like our time is up" I looked at my lover "What do you mean our time is up? we still have time" my lover shook their head "no my love look at your hand" I looked at my hand only to see it is disappearing "but I can't leave you" my voice faltered as I suppressed a sob "But you must, my love. I am mere ash and shadows, but you, my darling angel, you are real. You are the light burning and everlasting life. Do not waste away in my world of illusion." my lover looked at me in my eyes deeply, there so many emotions going through them I can't pinpoint of them. "And where will you go? When I am not?" I whispered, almost afraid of their answer "To the small space between your deepest wishes, and your tears of reality" My love said, I clung to every word they said as it was the light in the deepest shadows and they are the only thing providing such light. "but it is a Iss was a
world you cannot follow" my heart broke "and what am I to do" tears are threatening to break "Live so greatly, burn so brightly that one day you will not need me at all" he placed a kiss re filling up with tears I can see them cry " I don't want to wake up" I'm crying I can no longer suppress the tears anymore "Please I-- I want to stay with you" My love fingers rest gently on my cheek, as a hint of a soft smile tugs at the corners at the corner of their lips. "Go, my love" they speak, their voice a warm hum. "live your life, and fill your days with joy and adventure remember my dear you will come back to me once you come back you can tell me stories each night of you adventures" they wiped my tears and kissed me once more and closed my eyes. I woke up and stood up on my bed feeling a tear roll down my cheek.
