I promised you that I'd scour the darkest planets in our galaxy until I found you again. I swore that I'd search endlessly through the shadows of existence until I felt your warmth again. But here on a world nearly devoid of star light the courage I thought I possessed inside me, even my very will itself begins to waiver. You told me once you loved me more then every star in our nights sky. In my minds eye I see the times I held you closely to my beating heart, and you promising you'd wait for me even in the shadows if you had to. But now staring through this piercing night I realize I'm the one who's..afraid...plagued by a fear so incredibly daunting that it grips my very soul tightly under my space suit. Nostalgically I harken back to the days we embraced each other on neon green grass while under
crystal Angelite skies. Remembering these moments causes a smile to creep slightly around the edges of my mouth. This being I could still feel the softness of your hair running through my fingers. I could still see the angelic look in your eyes as you stared into mine. I remember back then you would always ask me what did I see when I stared into your beautiful haunting eyes? I would never answer, I would just kiss your loving lips gently and hold you closer. Yet now as I stare into the distant star partially illuminating this dark and desolate alien world. I realize now what I saw in your eyes back then, I saw..eternity..
