Hey guys, here is another song drabble, this time to the song 'All of the stars' by Ed Sheeran. I listened to this song a lot the last few days and I want to dedicate this to my best friend. I love you, because you are unique, you are real and you do so much for me! I would give everything for you, because I know you would give everything for me. So this is a present for you, even though I'm on the other side of the world now! I hope you enjoy it :)
It's just another night
And I'm staring at the moon
Fuchur walks restless up and down in his room. It is just a small room- he gets through it with only three steps from the door to the narrow window. To his left is a small bed. He really tried to sleep in it, but it was impossible. Too many thoughts in his mind. A deep sigh comes out of his mouth and he lifts his eyes up to the small window. The noises of the street, screaming drunken men and twirly whores trying to catch a costumer come up to the window. It seems like this village is never sleeping.
With his fingers he runs through his hair and rubs his red eyes. His head is full of thoughts about her. Witha longing view he stares in the pitch dark sky and finds the full round moon. Another sigh, even deeper than the first one comes up.
I saw a shooting star
And I thought of you
I sang a lullaby
By the waterside and knew
If you were here I'd sing to you
"Wherever you are, I will find you." While he is saying this, a shooting star falls down the sky, bigand bright with a long sparkling tail. As soon as it appeared it disappears again. His heart skips a beat. Was this a sign? He closes his eyes and tries to imagine her face in his mind's eye, her perfect green eyes, her high cheekbones, her little nose with hundreds of freckles on it. In his fantasy her mouth smiles and she whispers his name. Fuchur. A wisp of wind catches her long blonde hair which flows down her back like silvered water and whirls it in her face. He conceits to smell her, the smell of elderflower and fresh grass is flowing through the air. The thing he wants the most in life is to have her by his side again, that's what he wished for so desperately that his souls aches when he saw the shooting star. And this is the reason why he is here, in this ancient inn, in this nameless city, why he is riding through the land since weeks now. Somebody came and took her from him and he has sworn to find her and to bring her back, no matter what it may cost him.
With a sad smile he remembers their last night together. They sat under the old willow next to a little lake somewhere deep in the forest. Silver- shining fairies flew around in the air, the only things they heard were the sounds of night and the bell- like fairy- wings. The moon reflected itself in the clear water and bathed everything in cold white light. They swore each other endless love and then he took her in his arms, sank in the smell of her hair and sang a song to her.
Silent he whispers the lines of this song about never ending love to himself. Although he is sitting in a small room in a guest- house, in his mind he is back in this night, at the lake, with her in his arms. She isn't here with him, but still he feels like he sings it to her again.
You're on the other side
As the skyline splits in two
I'm miles away from seeing you
I can see the stars
From America
I wonder, do you see them, too?
He decides to take a walk. Sleeping is impossible anyway. As sokn as the sun will rise, he will take his horse and ride through the hills and the far grassland till he reaches the next village. The next city. Her. Wherever she is. He puts on his robe and leaves the room in the guest- house as quick as possible. When he passes the tavern downstairs, many people try to hold him back to invite him to a beer, but he shakes them off and enters the street. Cold wind hits his face and he pulls his hood tight. Without matching out where he is going, he walks faster and faster till he is running. He enjoys the movement of his muscles.
Suddenly he finds himself in a forest. The trees around him seem dark and threatening. But he is not afraid. He walks and walks and after a while he reaches a glade. Above him millions and millions of stars are shining and Fuchur wonders, if she is seeing the same the same stars, the same sky right now. If she is missing him in exactly the same moment and in the same way he is missing her. This thought shakes him and sends shivers down his spine. I have to find you, I have to.
So open your eyes and see
The way our horizons meet
And all of the lights will lead
Into the night with me
A wave of feelings hits him and a sob shakes his body. He never wanted to cry, he always wanted to stay strong, but right now on this clearing he loses all control over himself. The shakes of his body bring him down to the floor. He buries his face in the grass and breathes in deeply, sobbing loud. Elderflower and fresh grass. She is everywhere.
A fairy comes flying to him, its wings ring silent through the air. Gently it lands on his brown hair. It feels as light as a feather. The fairy feels his sadness and shakes its wings faster. After a few seconds, glitter covers his hair and the area around his head. Out of sudden there is this ringing sound from everywhere around him. All the fairies in the trees start to make this light sound of their wings for him. It fills the whole place and after a few minutes everything is covered in moonlight- reflecting glitter. This unique present of these little living beings makes him caml down and soon his tears are gone. Slowly he turns around on his back and looks up to the golden stars. Stout he is saying to himself: "I will not give up till we share our horizon again, my love." He knows, the never ending light of the stars will lead them back together.
And I know these scars will bleed
But both of our hearts believe
All of this stars will guide us home
His heart hurts now and he knows about the hard journey in front of him. But also he knows as long as he believes in seeing her again and in the fact that she does so, too, he knows that all of this stars will guide them them back to each other. That all of this stars will guide them home.
