I was standing in front of the old library. It's antique features gave me a nostalgic feeling that burns my heart with longing.

I smiled as I remembered the days when I would run around and chase a certain boy with long, jet black hair, dark orbs, and a fragile heart.

There are days after he died when I would go here and I would always sit in my spot where I watched him read... And I would close my eyes and feel the pain, the longing, the endless nights of crying, mornings where I would just stare at nothing and feel the hollow pain inside my chest. And I would always smile when I feel the cold wind enveloped me in a warm embrace and for a moment... I would think.... That he is with me...

"Drea..." I opened my eyes and turned around. And for the first time in almost 60 years I felt my heart stopped beating.

"Drea..." My eyes started to water as he went near me. "Drea. " He touched my face and caressed it... "My Drea..."

I touched his face and stared at it. Tears are staring to flow down my cheeks as I held his face with my hands.

"You're real..." He nodded. "You're real..." He smiled and after 60 years... My heart started to beat again...

"I am..."

"How?" He shook his head and embraced me... We stayed in this position for what seemed like forever. My heart is about to burst as he tightened his arms around me. His musk and warmth filled my heart with so much joy...

"It's time, my love." I looked at him with confusion written on my face. "It's time to leave."

"Where?" He smiled and kissed my temple.

"To the stars..."

 FIN.
