"Oh! I see my life clearly now: ... a passionate, frantic search.... I didn't know that that one could dream of death by metaphysical despair; sacrifice everything to the desire to know; live only to be saved. I didn't know that every system is an ardent, tormented thing, an effort of life, of being, a drama in the full sense of the word, and that it does not engage only the abstract intelligence. But I know it now, and that I can no longer do anything else" (July 28; pp. 133, 134; my trans. From Simone de Beauvoir’s diary).
Today I saw another sign from the heavens, a sign that there is still hope for the both of us, the very sign I am always waiting for, for me to be able to wish upon it to bring you Back to me. A falling white star, not an ordinary one, so far it has been the Longest Fall I’ve ever seen.
Longest fall, a friend told me that you should not “fall in love” instead you should “be in love” but for me “falling in love” is similar to the falling stars I see at night, the ones that give me hope, specks of light that slits the dark blanket of the sky. A star needs to fall (as a sacrifice) in order to show the people (who believe that they can grant wishes) that there’s still hope, despite the darkness, falling can bring light, a speck of hope illuminating the sadness of the oblivious blanket of black. Falling in love in a way is similar to it, you fall in love in order to show the one you love that your love is beyond any limit, a love that is pure and is willing to Sacrifice. A love that is greater than the darkness of the sky.
I have always been fascinated on how such wonderful things, stars falling down from heaven start out as a tragedy, a reality that never will that thing ever shine again, cause now it is just one of those tiny dust specks that your maid wipes on the window pane. It becomes nothing. But before their life ended they were able to bring joy and hope for the lonely gazers yearning for love and happiness. I believe that love is like that, an Ultimate Sacrifice for the Ultimate Love, you let yourself fall in order for you to show your beloved that you are willing to give all of yourself just to make him happy, just to give him hope to live.
I believe that I have fallen in love with you for me to be able to show you how loving and living should be. I am the star that you see at night, twinkling, one day I will fall for you to be able to see hope and happiness.
