Among the Stars
We stood on the edge of the world, alone, surrounded only by the cold glow of stars. Beneath our feet lay an old, fallen log, and above us rose a towering beech tree, as if it were there just to protect us from everything. Under its branches, in that quiet place that felt like it didn’t belong to this world, I felt like anything was possible, even though I knew we weren’t supposed to be here together.Every time I looked at Alfa, I felt the vast space between us — a space filled with prohibitions and secrets, yet something much stronger than all of it. In her eyes, I saw a friend, a person who understood me, who knew everything about me, even though we always chose our words carefully, hiding our feelings. The love that burned between us wasn’t just a matter of passion; it was the connection that makes you feel like you’ve found part of yourself in someone else.“Look,” I said, pointing to the stars shimmering above us. “The universe is watching us. Maybe it even understands us.”She looked at me with that gentle smile, always hiding some secret. “Do you think we’re alone in this world?” she asked softly, almost as if afraid of the answer.I was silent. The universe didn’t seem distant; it was all around us, like an endless witness to the moment we shared. And in that silence, in the space between us, I felt we were part of something beyond words.“Eternity is right here, Alfa,” I whispered, smiling. “In this moment. In us.”And truly, as we stood on that fallen log, under the branches sheltering our quiet connection, I felt this moment belonged only to us. Everything else felt distant — expectations, rules, life outside that canopy. Our secret remained preserved in the silence of the universe, among the stars that were our only witnesses.
