I carry her with me, I kept her light

When we first met, we both were new to this world. But as you would expect with a newly hatched star, we were pulled to each other and orbited each other from then on.

With her, I understood ancient heroes and works of classics who said there was no force greater than a love for a friend. She shone and in that light, the world seemed to be brighter.

In our endless spinning, I didn't realize how much of her light I consumed. As we got closer, the dance got faster.

I hope she is still there.

In my emptiness.
