What happens when we fall in love with something we can never get? Something that can never be ours? A feeling that is not exactly love, but at the same time it's something we can't describe. We just have to let go and accept that, that particular "something" will never be ours. And the thought of it does not only kill us from inside but it makes us crave for that "something" more. Until we reach a point where we realize that all this while, that "something" was always with us, we just never acknowledged it. And then finally, we have to truly let go.
Why do all the good people die? How is the world going to be a better place if it is filled with all these bad people? But then, maybe the good people die for a reason. Maybe something awaits for them in heaven, if heaven exists.
Humans are bound to fall in love and humans are bound to die. But everything has the right time. Everything lasts for a specific amount of time. What happens when both of them are taken away from one, much earlier then they are meant to?

Everybody ask these questions, but only a few find the answers.

Oblivious of the world, lost in his thoughts, Dylan Jacobson was a mystery. He was familiar with the word "loneliness" the way we are with alphabets. He was someone nobody ever understood. Someone whom no one ever wanted to understand. His mind was a maze, and he himself didn't know the way out. He knew the inevitable, but he couldn't stop it.

Murph Hale was popular, not because of herself, but because of her friends. Her friends were all a girl  would want to be like. But, intriguingly none of it bothered Murph. She was too busy just being herself. Before wanting to start something in her life, she wanted to know who she actually was.

If he was a mystery, then she was magic.
If he was a pessimist, then she was an optimist.
If he was a star, then she was a galaxy.

When their paths cross, will they be able to stop the inevitable? Or will their love take the form of an obstacle and obstruct them from stopping it?
