Under the stars,
he runs at me,
his breathing
growing heavy.
'Did you find one?'
I asked.
'No,' he wore the sky
as a cloak with the stars
sliding down:
I witnessed some stars shooting
down.
A disaster?
No, they turned into petals
before kissing the earth.
'I met a girl who
understands me,'
his voice fluttered
like a Nightingale's.
Tempest dissolved
and left a serene sea
singing him a lullaby.
I felt at ease,
at last, my work is done.
He'll find peace
with that girl
who'll uproot his darkness
that once was etched on his soul.
'I am happy for you.'
I smile at him.
'Thank you for always
being there for me!'
he held my hands
as I turned to go,
but there was warmth
that spread throughout my body
like summer.
'I will watch over you.'
I roughed his hair.
He smiled like a star
that's found solace
in watching over
a fish in an abandoned
pond.
'Farewell!'
I take a last glance.
My dear, how much has he grown
from being a disheveled gloom
to becoming a flower that blooms.
I cried that night,
the moon is witness.
I turn off the light
as my heart feels
a chord pulling strongly.
This distance,
forever,
is too painful.
