Left from the music, under the stars; left from the music box we used so often and underneath the photo of us dancing under the stars, which is where you hid your letter box. The one full of misery, pain, sorrow, and love.

You were right, red was sort of my favourite colour, but the second I came home it changed. Red did not suit you, green did, the soft green of your eyes. That was always my favourite colour. I never told you, but it was the one thing I could do all day: drowning in your eyes.

''I am so sorry, for everything. I thought, I thought I was keeping you safe, I did but from the wrong person.''

I sit down on the grass, our spot on the hill in the backyard. The sun is setting, the stars are slowly awakening. The red and pink glow covers the sky.

''Where the stars meet the horizon, I am here. With my mind, my heart, and my soul I was always here. You took those with you the day you said goodbye. But I am still here.'' I memorized each word you wrote, each and every one, like I remember every freckle on your nose.

''Like you said, 'Sometimes silence hurts more than the truth,
And sometimes you do not need the truth because silence is an answer too.' I never really understood. But I get it now.'' The sun is almost gone. Just a few more minutes and I can see our star.

''You did not know where I went, it was silence from my side. I do not know where you went, it is silence from your side. It is an answer, not the one I want, but still an answer. Maybe the universe is telling us it is indeed too forbidden to be true. And even though the silence hurts so fucking much, I do not know if I want the truth. Do I want to know what you were thinking? Do I want to know how much pain I caused you? Did you want to know in what fucked up situations I was in? I do not know, nor will I ever.''

''You called me a villain; I call you a thief. I burrowed your heart, I was planning to return it, I could not, so I kept it. You stole my heart and took it with you to your never-ending adventure.'' Any light that was here 30 minutes ago, is now gone. The stars the only twinkles visible. I lay back, the grass tickling my neck, the scorching summer air surrounding me.

''Our last kiss, you did not know, neither did I want you to. We had fun that night, we laid here, you and me. Then it was just you, now it is just me. We danced the night away, the stars saw, as they saw every day, they admired our love from afar. We let them see, you thought; they would not judge, they would smile, they would dance alongside us. I think we danced alongside them, because whenever I danced with you, the entire world disappeared, all I could see was you. You had me trapped, and you did not even know.''

The letter box stood next to me, the only reminder I have of you. All your letters together with mine, but yours will forever be better. I grab your pen, two last letters for the box.


The stars are the same, I used to watch them every night, knowing that wherever I was, we were underneath the same sky. Now I am not even sure where you are, but I hope, I hope that when you look up you see the same sky as I do. That way we will be connected again.

I could taste;                                                                                                                                                                           The sting of whiskey on your lips,                                                                                                                                   a final kiss,                                                                                                                                                                             before we said our last goodbye,                                                                                                                             without a word being said.

To forever and never. I will meet you where the stars meet the horizon.

-Forever yours,                                                                                                                                                                  your villain,                                                                                                                                                                              Francis

Well, this is the end.

When I tell you I cried, damm.

Anyways, I hope I did not do to much damage.

Let me know what you thought of it.

To forever and never. <3
