Eclipse

Reunited

 Days go by and we never left each other's side. We have gotten to know each other more and more as the days go by. She is a photographer, loud and energetic. She sees the world from a lighter perspective while I see it from a more rather darker perspective. We travel the galaxy together; she will take pictures while I write. During our travels I saw more and more of our differences, sometimes we would have small arguments, but we still stayed. Neither of us ever left the other because she is my Sun, and I am their Moon. That's the way it's always been but I never truly understood why humans put so much meaning behind these words.

She asked me one day why I stayed, I simply said because she is my Sun. She asked me if I loved her, which caught me off guard. Love, a word that humans use to show affection for a person they hold dearly. I say nothing, love is something I do not understand. She walks away, I thought she was just going back to her room. I didn't think that would be the last time I saw her.

I searched for her throughout the whole galaxy. I couldn't find her no matter where I went. Since she left me, I tried every day to understand why I felt so lost. Something inside me has changed, I never felt so confused. I started to question everything about myself. Is the way I think too deep? Did I hurt my sun?

Love, the word that has hurt the sun. What is love truly, I have no clue. I've never been in love, if I told her that would have things happened differently. Does love hold a higher value than anything else in this galaxy? Was that what I felt the night our eyes met, was that the connection? Was love always there with us, I guess it was.

Months went by and I went back home to rest. This journey to finding Sol again is so long. I arrived at my place, and I saw how empty it was. Was it always this empty, surely not. This does not feel like home anymore, so I left, and I walked under the night sky. Then I felt it, the connection. I looked around and I saw her looking as beautiful as the day I lost her.

I ran and I ran, and I pulled her into my arms. I hugged her but she did not hug me back. I can feel the hesitation. I can tell she felt conflicted. I whisper the three words into her ear. I feel her hands wrap around my body. So, this is love, this is the feeling. This feeling can make you feel so warm, I understand now. This warmth is what I was searching for.

The sun and the moon will always need each other because they crave each other's warmth. They need each other's love for one another. Love is the question, and she was the answer. The Moon always needs their Sun, that is just how things are. Sometimes the answer is just always there, I now understand why people never question this. Questioning just leaves to more unsolved answers, but I do not regret questioning because now I can understand this a little bit more.

The Sun and Moon are one once again. We may be different, but I think that is what makes our relationship balanced. To my Sol, thank you for teaching me what love is.
