Original Submission by Tayiba

Light of love

I gaze at the stars.

They are your new family.

This is our new sad reality which only seems to be our worst tragedy.

Words cannot paint our broken mirrors.

You can never convince me of worst existing thrillers.

Why life be temporary and death be permanent?

Why memories be temporary and love be permanent?

Why us be temporary and you be permanent?

Because perhaps the devotion of flowers

Continue…

They continue even after they lose their fragrant powers.

The devotion that doesn't only last for hours but rather forever.

So be it.

If forever means loving you until death brings us back together,

let your melodies wander wherever,

let our silhouettes embrace whenever,

let our love remain forever.

Death shall bring us back together for the light of a star does not beat the light of love.

Nothing can interfere whether it's death or anything above.
