You meet a girl at school
Shes short and has the cutest freckles that go across her nose and cheeks
You recognise her as one of the teachers daughters
She looks over at you and smiles
You feel the warmth radiating off her like the sun even from a distance
She comes over to you and says you have the prettiest eyes
You thank her and say she has the prettiest smile and freckles
She giggles and says her name is Sadie
You tell her yours and start to talk to her more in the corridors
Even starting to have lunch together
When the summer hits you hangout all day together
Talking about our futures and how we'd like things to be
She wants to live somewhere warm, she feels most at peace when in the sun
You tell her it compliments her perfectly, that she reminds you of the sun
Warm, radiant and beautiful
Her and her family go on holiday, a church camp
She tells you she misses you, that she looks at the moon and sees you
She's the sun and I'm the moon
It's bittersweet
Quickly winter came around and you bought her a present
A moon necklace, that way she'd always have her moon
She bought you a sun, so you'd always have your sun
You spend hours in eachothers arms by the fire in her garden
Laughing over how you got eachother those necklaces, how she'd never take it off just like the cross around her neck
You've known since a young age
Boys never appealed, whereas women are beautiful, holy
But the cross that she wears is her faith
She would tell me to go to hell if she knew and i couldn't loose my sun
As the moon you shine bright but the sun is the one that makes the moon bright to begin with
It's Halloween and you two are dressed up as the sun and the moon
The gold glitter lit up her face, her amber eyes stood out, her freckles barely traceable with all the makeup
You stood there adoring, admiring, just taking in her beauty
You look beautiful my sun you say stunned at her beauty
You do too my moon she says with a giggle
No i mean you look beautiful sadie, more beautiful than the sun, the stars, you are beautiful and I cant keep that to myself anymore
She looks at you with an emotion you cannot make out
You make eye contact for what feels like years when she finally walks over to you
To your surprise she kisses you, gently and soft, almost like she didn't touch your lips but she did
It became a weekly thing
We'd go for a date, do things we've both wanted to experience in relationships
Nobody knew, she thought her parents would send her away
As long as i had my sun I didn't care who she told and didn't
I had my sun
I learnt that she loves kisses on her neck
She likes to take her cross off when she sees me, shes scared of gods judgement
She likes to bake, scrunches her nose when she laughs, she likes to read romance books but romance books only
I learnt her inside and out
I kiss the parts of her body she hates telling her I love them
We are happy
But her brother came in and saw us
He said he knew he didn't want to tell but he thought we were only kissing and we're not, anything more is a sin
I went home and never spoke to my sun again
At 18 she was forced into an arranged marriage
We were going to runaway for her 18th
Eventually you move on
You no longer love being in hot places
You prefer snow and being in crowded places
Filling the whole that the sun left
You went to uni and followed your dream like she told you to
One winter you reached out to her and she said she didn't think she'd hear from you
You ask her how lifes been
It has treated her unfairly
She wants to leave her husband, after years of trying she could not love him
He hurts her because she doesn't love him
You tell her she can come to you to escape, that after all the years you still love her and no matter what
You will help
You continue talking and have a plan set in place
The night before the escape she tells you she loves you and always has
We will be together soon she says
You've both been waiting for this
For happiness
Her husband reads the messages in the middle of the night
He wakes her up shouting about how sinful she is
She cries in bed
He beats her until she takes her last breath
He doesn't realise and calls her a sinner before walking out
You found her body 3 days after the day she was meant to escape was
You called police and told them everything
They didn't call you sinners, they called you both brave and wished the plan had worked
Her husband gets locked up
And now you live somewhere hot, where the sun is constant
She is always there, always showing you love
