A Starry Night's Dialogue

In the soft velvet of the night, she stirred beside me, and then came this soft murmur, like flower petals whispering in the moonlight. “This,” She whispered, her voice a soft hum breaking the silence, “means that we, you and I, within us dwells the capacity to love.”

A smile played on my lips as I replied, “Yes, we have within us the power to kindle a tiny spark into a vibrant, mesmerizing blaze. But equally, we hold the potential to pacify that burning inferno. There's this beautiful emotion, tender and profound, that can quietly creep into the heart's most hidden chambers, stirring an odd sense of comfort with another. This emotion kick-starts a conversation, a dance of words and feelings that transitions into understanding, before maturing into a tender form of affection. Each grows accustomed to the other's rhythm, a harmonious symphony emerging in thought, spirit, life's viewpoint, and the symphony of feelings. This captivating, heart-warming dance is the magic people often whisper of as “love””.

This dance of love is like making a distilled perfume, a task that takes patience and dedication and, over time, turns into the most irresistible, charming scents. However, there are other versions of love, those that swirl with the intensity of a hurricane. Occasionally, a person might find themselves completely swept away, devoured by their counterpart without a moment's notice. This experience feels as though each is subsuming the other in a turbulent whirlwind, a dramatic takeover without permission or forewarning. This dance could stretch over an extended time, or it might unfold in a few fleeting days, or perhaps even hours, akin to an earthquake that instantaneously shifts landscapes, causing the old to vanish and the new to appear.

Love, in all its delightful forms, could approach us as a gentle breeze, quietly stepping into the calm of our lives, softly and subtly transforming everything. Alternatively, it might descend with the passion of a hurricane, forcefully shaking up a person's world, cleansing them from the marks and scars etched by by the world, by the time.

In our starlit exchange, she asked, her eyes twinkling with curiosity, “What do you yearn for from the person you love?”

I replied, “My wish is to weave a new love story with her every dawn, to rediscover the lines of her face and wake up each morning as if I'm seeing her for the very first time. I yearn for her smile to continue enveloping me, comforting my sorrows, sharing my joys, and soothing the worries of my existence. I hope for our conversations, our shared laughter and whispers, to eternally ignite wonder within us, sparking a thrilling hunt for truth—a truth that our love is a love for all people, for the world, for life in all its beautiful complexity. When I have the courage and the moment comes for me to confess my love for her, I will say. “I love in you all that has been, is, and will be. Through you, with you, and by your side, I celebrate my love for the entire cosmos. Your mere existence, your heart, and soul, has finally taught me to love myself, too.””

“I desire her to be a revolution in my soul, a soothing melody to my emotions, and a beacon of hope from which I draw strength to embrace life.”
