      I sit in the arms of the majestic cherry blossom on the edge of Earth waiting to be swallowed by darkness.  While waiting for the sun to set on the horizon I think.  I always ask people what they see when staring out over the edge.  But, it’s always the same. The stars, the moon, the planets, nothing really…  But, unlike them I see something very different.  And, it is only a matter of seconds before I see it again.  Just as the stars started peeking out of the fabric of sky, they created the canvas for what was about to come.  I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.  As soon as I opened my eyes again it started.  I saw the night sky paint a picture of him.  His smile, his eyes, every bit of perfection captured in the stars.  All of my memories start to create a movie which plays on the surface of the moon.  I watch, admiring, soaking in every minute.  I didn’t dare bat an eye, because if I did I would miss another happy memory.  I see us dancing, and hugging, talking, even the play fighting.  But, my smile was corrupted when the break-up scrolled onto the cratered surface.  I couldn’t bear the pain… I hopped off the tree and a single tear was born in my eyes.  As I was engulfed  by the darkness, the salty water droplet died on my lips.
