The Stars

The stars gave a strange violet vibrance around them, as if something was amiss but yet they glowed to show their acceptance. They were right something had gone missing from their universe and family of stars. The moon wept, it was full, it was content, the tears both of happiness and grief.
The missing part was you, you had descended from the heavens and thus the sorrow, they had lost a great member, the gods were also overcome with sorrow, but how could they not do what had to be done, they had let go of their favorite angel. They had to make us meet, they had to make you and me “us”. The stars celebrated as we were on your roof, they had a clear view that you were in good hands. Yet they made the clouds thunder as if they wanted me to run away, but to no effect as I just wasn’t letting go, and they knew they were trying in vain to get you back, and as the your face shone in the moonlight, my heart was overjoyed and my brain brought down to tears, for it had once thought this would have never been. As I kissed your bedazzling eyes, I realized they once wept for I hadn’t been there when I should have. As you hugged me and kept your head on my shoulder and gently fell asleep, I couldn’t see your face but I felt it, it was calm, there was a smile, perhaps deep down in your slumber you were thinking about, what I always think about us. The moon shone at its brightest that night, as if it were competing with me, I apologized to it, I told him I know she comes from where you belong and she should be up there, but I just cant let her go even if I wanted to, she’s done some voodoo over me, thus I promise to keep her as happy as I can. Your smile when you woke up and looked into my eyes, it was enthralling. One look from you sweeps me off my feet, yet I don’t fall down, as if you’re my safety net and me your stuntman. Stuntman as I am happy to face all the dangers and let you steal the limelight of your moon. Then when we just sat with our backs against the wall, as I had all the time when you weren’t there, I finally let out a sigh of relief and said in a low breath 'Nidhi', as if I had won the battle against the stars to win you over, but then took a deep breath again, as another battle to keep you had begun, but I was ready, as ready as a Spartan warrior heading to war, but just without the shield, as my shield was in my heart.


Then I rose as time had come to leave, with one last look at your alluring face, I began to leave, the moon suddenly appeared closer, as if he wanted to take you away now that I was going, then I ferociously whispered to it “shes mine, back off”, that seemed enough to put him off for now. As the battle ahead lies to be fought.
