 And so she woke up, right in the middle of the field. As she laid on the cool green grass she gazed into the beautiful blue of the sky. Her mind wild with thoughts, thinking of  everything that  could of been and everything that could be. She closed her eyes... When she opened them he was laying right next to her. She blinked and when she opened her eyes he was gone. She sighed. She knew her wasn't really there but for a split second she believed it to be true, she hoped it to be true. He was gone, and she missed him so. "One day," she mumbles under her breath, the last words he said to her.  As the sunset she stared into the sky and tried clearing her mind. Instead of clearing it all new types of thoughts flooded her mind, thoughts of the stars and the moon, space and the sky, the sun and the moon. She wondered why the moon was always chasing after the sun, and then she realized, they are in love. Everyday the sun lights up the earth just for the moon, she shined so bright just for him because he so badly wished he could. And every night the moon showed her what couldn't be seen during the day. He may not be able to shine for her but instead he showed her the beauty of the darkness. He showed her the stars, he may not be able to shine for her but he will do whatever he can to make her happy, and the stars is everything he was, and he does Everything he can for her. He showed her the stars each and every night. Without him she can't see the stars, the stars are his gift to her. On their own the moon and the sun are both so beautiful but they are the most beautiful when they are together, and they can only be together twice a day. They spend all day and all night wishing they could be together, shining for and with each other, but only twice a day do they actually get to share the sky as we see it. And those two times that they get to be together are the most beautiful parts of the day. To us, we know it as sunrise and sunset. To them it's hello and goodbye. People wake up early every morning just to see how beautiful the sky is when the sunrises, just to get a small glimpse of their love. And people race to the window to see the sunset, how depressingly beautiful the sky looks when they have to say goodbye, but it's still so beautiful because they know they will be together again...
