Tears of Stars

There comes a night, when even sky and the moon bid farewell to each other. The two lovers dwell deep in darkness, when their fate keeps them hidden. The sky seems lost and the moon is forbidden to be. Oh, how I see the mournful sky that has drowned itself in the ocean of despair. I see the stars hung up in the sky, like shining tears that never roll down the horizon. I feel the night is incomplete, just like every soul without its soulmate.

Once again, I close my eyes and your smile is all I can see. The cold wind breezing past me that was scathing me a moment ago, bothers me no more for your eyes bring warmth to my heart that turns even the most biting winter in a blissful spring. Oh, how I wish you were here. The silence that filled the distance between us when you bid farewell to me, I wish I could say just one more thing. Just one single word that would keep the both of us from parting.

I hope you can’t see the darkness I’m falling into, like an endless void as I close my eyes wishing to hit the bottom soon to end this nightmare of being without you. When we were together, little did we know that one of us would have to see the daylight without another. Or maybe we did, but we were so lost in the beautiful night that we thought our wish would come true – that dawn would never break again.

You had to leave me, like the moon leaves the night-sky. I know you’re still there, because the darkness I’ve plunged into, after you left, made me blind to every sight of you. Maybe this is the reason whenever I wish to see your smile, I end up closing my eyes. You’re there someone told me, I’m just yet to feel you. But has someone told this to the sky, whose tears brighten up the sky dimly in the hope to find the moon?

I glance above in the dark void, and I see the stars adorning the sky. Has the sky given up the hope to ever see its love? Or have I? I lost you an year ago when our fates tore us apart, and the moment I swift back to the moment when you held my hand for the last time, and nothing was all we said. Just like that day, I can’t hold my tears back, unlike the sky that holds back the stars. And I break down again, cry my heart out again. The more I wish to hold back my tears, the more they keep falling.

I look up at the sky. It seems I wasn’t the only one who broke down tonight, as all the stars fall for both of us in the sky. I wasn’t the only one who couldn’t hold back the tears anymore…
