Chapter 1
They say promises fade with time… but some promises are written where time cannot erase them — in the stars.
Two different hearts.
But one connection.
An angel… with its horse.
Isn't it cute?
How I thought we could keep the promise while being together.
But I guess destiny won.
We are away from each other.
But I still keep a promise
we never made.
Silent vows.
Only the heart can remember.
I keep holding on to this imagery of you.
If the world was to reverse, will there be us?
Or will it just be you and me?
At night, I sit at our favorite park.
I watch how beautiful it is.
How quiet and meaningful it was to us.
I look up to the sky.
There it is —
the star.
Shining brighter than our promises.
I kept looking at it.
All I could think of was you.
How are you feeling?
What emotions are running through your heart?
Do you even think about us?
Or have you finally moved on?
Holding on to these memories was never my intention.
But as we know,
no one knows tomorrow.
But here I am,
trying to create a tomorrow for us.
But I just can't do it alone.
I need to know where I stand.
Where we stand.
Yes… I said us.
Because there was before you, with you.
But there was never after you.
It has been you all along.
I'm trying to break our promises,
but I don’t even know where to start.
I don't even know what is what,
or who is who anymore.
You might have moved on.
But here I am,
imagining what life will be after you.
But the question is:
"Am I ready to live the after you?"
But I'm not ready.
I keep holding on to the past.
And I keep calling on those promises over and over again.
I'm even tired.
I have lost count of how many times
I have prayed and hoped
to see you again.
But I know that's impossible.
But still, stay safe.
And love right.
You are free to make another promise
with someone else.
I will be right here,
figuring out how to align our stars.
I will try to figure out
how our worlds might collide.
