Fireflies were whizzing all around us, their light basking the area in a soft, luminescent glow.

“So ephemeral and weak.”

“And yet, they shine with all their might.”

They say right before you die your whole life flashes before your eyes. That explains why I only saw you.

We were a supernova-brighter than a star, fierce and consuming. Our passion ignited everything in its path, breathtaking and unstoppable, until, like a dying star, we blazed out in a final, blinding burst of flames.

They say the world used to turn. They say that night would follow day in an endless dance. They say that dawn rose, dusk fell, and we worshiped both sun and stars. That was a long time ago. The dance has died. The world has fallen still. We float through the heavens, one half always in light, one half always in shadow. Like the moth of our forests, one wing white and the other black, we are torn. My people are the fortunate. We live in daylight, blessed in the warmth of the sun. Yet across the line, the others lurk in eternal night, afraid... and alone in the dark. I was born in the light. I was sent into darkness. This is my story.

"We are all broken. That's how the light gets in." ~Ernest Hemingway

I never imagined to love an unexpected man in an unexpected place. You gave me light, you opened my mind and break through my walls... You had shown me the way to love and yet I haven't spoken of my heart... I never imagined to lose you in a way I had let you down.

"I never knew I was living in such darkness until you came into my life and lit it up."
