He asked me tonight.
"Why do you love sunsets, the moon, the night? Why do you love the sky too much?"
Looking up brings peace unto my inner soul.
Seeing how calm or how rough the sky is, made me realize everyone is vulnerable — in their own special way.
Everyone is specially crafted and so they have their own edges. Some are sharp that can actually do harm, some are circular, some are just the normal edges.
The sunset, the moon, the night, the sky in general, is a sign for me. A sign that could lead me or do the otherwise.
I asked him back.
"Do you know how long it took, for a star be born, shine and die eventually? and then be replaced by some other star?"
He looked closely.
It seems like he knows what I meant.
He answered.
"I don't know exactly. But a long long long time."
I nodded. And he smiled bitterly.
Sadly, you can forget memories. The mind can forget things. But the heart can't unlove someone. The heart only finds someone to love again — a greater love. A love that encompasses the first. A greater love.
And to find another person to love, greater than the love I gave you will take me a long long long long time.
Hope to see you smiling always. Eyes don't lie. Remember that.
