Fading Stars

"Do you want me?" she asked.

"I want to explore the world with you. I want to discover something special with you. I want to be your oxygen and help you soar to new heights."

~~~~~~~~~

"Why do you love me?" she asked.

"Because you're you, and I'm me, and somewhere along the way there became an us."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Did you love her?"

"I was lucky enough to explore the galaxy with her. Our love was out of this world. Maybe we went too far. Maybe we tried to explore planets out of our reach, but yes, I did love her."

~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Do you miss her?"

"Our love was like a star, shining bright and blinding others with a beautiful light. We forgot that light takes a while to reach Earth. By the time we realised our star had died, it was too late.

~~~~~~~~~~
"Do you regret it?"

"There was something beautiful in the way we hurtled through space. There was a thrill of losing oxygen but feeling unstoppable. I got to see things I never would've seen on this planet. The vastness of knowing there was infinite space around us to explore together was compelling. Being able to reach out and touch a star was magical. We became part of the space rock shooting through the nothingness. We crashed and we burned, but there's something special in what we were able to discover together. Even if we were just a fading star in an ocean of stars, I wouldn't have changed it if I could."
