moon

It was full moon then, you came to me and then asked me why I was spending my night alone. "The night's great and the moon shines so bright," you added. I couldn't think of anything else to reason out. I tried to speak, but there were no words that wanted to be blurted out. So I just shook my head and gave out a sly smile.

You must have understood it for you haven't interrogated me further.

Then, you sat down. I was still standing up. "You know, the heavenly body looks really better when you are lying on your back," obviously, it was his way of inviting me to lie on the grass beside him.

I hesitated for a while but for mere respect, I decided to lie on the grass with him.

We watched the stars and the moon and being wholeheartedly happy for it was shining so bright at that instant. "Do you know that, when two people being bounded by love sees a falling star at the same time, that falling star witnesses the feelings that they have for one another and binds their love for eternity?" I have heard that line before, but never did I fall for it. But why are you telling this to me? Do you think that we are bounded by some feeling? Do you think we are NOW bounded by the same feeling? I could only dream that it was true. So I waited for a falling star.

It was really a night to remember. The night sky, the stars, the moon - it was so perfect. The thought that he was inches away from me - that now, he was only INCHES away, makes me want to believe that immortality existed and is existing.

In the middle of this eternity moment, a bright, copper-colored ray star fell down from the sky. I remembered that it could be two things: the stars binding our love (if it was really love) or a chance for me to ask that love, in the perspective between our lives, is present. To savor the momentum of eternity, I closed my eyes and prayed for the best thing, the best man, and the best love that I could have.

I re-opened my eyes and expect the night sky, the stars and the moon to gaze back at me. But illusion succeeded, I see him. I still see him. I just have been watching him from afar.
