Unspoken Word of Reality

"Sometimes, I wonder why I love the stars."

"Really?"

"At first it only amazed me how they all looked like drawings in the sky, but now it's always like I'm deeply inlove with them, and it calms me."

"Maybe it's because the feeling is mutual. You love them, they love you. And love never hurts, it's calming. Maybe you have loved them so much they start falling for you too."

"The stars?"

"Yeah."

"Amazing. What if I love you? Would you fall for me too?"

I laughed a little and thought of the words I'd love to say out loud, but didn't.

Dear, I will not just fall. I will love you too. I only said to myself.

"I'm joking," she said while looking at me as if observing my reaction, "I know you're not a star, and it's okay," she continued.

Then she smiled at me and looked away.
