Stars In The Night Sky With You Next To Me

A cool summer breeze dances so gently with the grass and the trees as it passes over me, like a ghost who haunts so lovingly. The stars, more than any human number can count, stretch across the sky like some sort of beautiful diamond sand scattered across an immense black cloth.
Despite all my problems, I can't help but smile.
The sky ends far, far away in the horizon all around me, where the hills start to roll. The air is so crisp here. There's no city lights to rob the stars from me. The wind's quiet whisper is the only background noise to my thoughts.
Everything bad that's ever happened to me, that I've ever made happen to other people... it just slips away in this place.
There's no moon here. There's nothing but the stars. They just take up the whole sky. If you stare at them long enough, you can hear them singing.
The grass greets my skin like a mother's fingers on her newborn, and it's cool touch raises the hairs on my skin. She came over and laid down in the grass with me.
She speaks to me with the softest, sweetest voice.
"Hi." I didn't need to look at her eyes to see that they were smiling.
"Hey," I smiled back.
"The winds are shifting again. We're readying all the strength we have, but it won't be nearly enough."
How can someone make such bad news sound so delightful to my ears?
"I know."
"We need to head back soon."
"I know."
She says she hates it when I say that, but real hate doesn't have that much love behind those big beautiful eyes of hers. They're even deeper than the night sky here. In her eyes, you could fit twice the number of stars in the sky.
"Will you stay with me for a while?"
"Yes," she says.
"Thank you."
I didn't care that we were losing the war. I didn't care that the fate of every single soul was at stake. In this moment, nothing matters.
She curls up to me closer, putting her head on my shoulder.
We stared at the night stars for what I wished was forever, remembering that everything we ever fought for was for moments like this.
The sky was vast, and the stars shone on. How I felt for her felt as strong and as vast as that night sky.
Gods, whatever happens, bring her back to me in this place. There's no other heaven out there for me.
