Maps



"How did you know where to
find me?" She whispered, her voice
cracking under her tears.

"I followed the maps
you left in my heart, and I let my
feet carry me to you, because I belong to you
the way the stars belong in the sky."
She nodded and
more tears rolled
off her chin.
"My darling, our stars,
the very stars inside
of us,
go together like the sun and the moon. And I want nothing
more than to be by your side, always." He said, holding
her.
In this moment, she knew
she could never again
wander
away from
his
embrace.
