{Book 2} When falling, we learn how to fly. When a star falls, it means a wish has been granted. Some just so happen to have fallen in love while others fell to their demise. Descend to ascend once more. Let the sun, moon, and stars be our wings. An...

Orion awoke as God's light shone in from the windows.
The sun rises as it's another day. He rubbed his eyes, still feeling tired. Taking on the weight of the world is not an easy task. Days go by, that turn into months, which turn into years. Time waits for no one. Life goes on. The world still exists regardless of who and what doesn't anymore. Everything goes. Orion looked over to see his sun who hadn't risen yet.
Esther was sleeping peacefully, looking as beautiful as ever without any worries or troubles of what happened the night before. She didn't need to be sleeping beauty, for she was to him, Orion's sweet dream, his miracle who happened to be an unexpected blessing. He was a star who wished upon another star, that being her, while she was wishing upon him. Even stars wish upon other stars.
Orion caressed her hair, running his hands through Esther's messy wavy curls as gently as he could without waking her. While she thought he was an art piece, if only she could see what he saw through his eyes. His image of her was one that was perfection just the same as she'd see him in her eyes. He loved all of what she hated and thought were imperfections, because those are what made her, her. It's all of what made Esther perfect to him. Orion got up from the bed moving very silently to continue letting her rest within her peace. He could have admired her all day long, but he'd forced himself to get so far away. No matter how tired he was, she replenished his energy.
To love someone as if they were your soulmate after just having met days ago is pure madness. It's absurd. He didn't believe in such a thing as soulmates. But it was like love at first sight, mind, heart, and soul all combined which instantly connected them towards each other like they were being pulled to one another by some mystical force. He opened the bedroom door and went out, closing it quietly behind him. Orion loved her without knowing or admitting it. Loving like he never had before. He didn't know what to make out of it or how to feel. To be consumed by love is better than to be taken over by that of hate. He once let himself be swallowed by hatred at those who ripped away his wings, thus violating him, and made him lose everything.
Orion realized though, that they weren't to blame even though they took away what made him feel whole. He lost everything when he chose to let his wrath take over as vengeance overtook him. The darkness almost consumed the falling star. If Orion hadn't bumped into Esther when he was so full of rage three days ago after doing something he'll forever regret for all eternity, he'd might have fallen further beyond saving. She saved him, catching him before he could fall even more. And he saved her, catching her before she could fall. They were each other's wings, the sun and the moon. Perhaps, they didn't have to say that they loved each other. They could feel it within their actions and words. They can see the love for one another through their eyes. Eyes are the key to one's soul. Eyes tell everything. Your eyes tell.
