Star-crossed Lovers

The story goes that there were only ever
two true stars. One represented kindness
and the other sincerity. Together, they made
the most beautiful light anyone had seen
since the beginning of time. Then one day,
they disappeared.  The sky fell into utter
darkness and the King of Heaven had to
create new ones, but none were nearly
as bright or enchanting. Millenniums
passed and people grew tired of searching
for the lost celestial gleams. In fact,
many had forgotten their existence with
only the universe to remember the
mislaying. Years later, on an unexpected
day, a girl who had been voiceless since birth
suddenly found herself calling a name she
had never known before. To her surprise,
a boy lingering in the same room met
her gaze questioningly. The girl
smiled, leaned closer, and whispered
in his ear, "Has any ever told you
that your eyes are like the stars?"

The boy just smiled. He stared back
and said, "I would need my eyes to be stars.
The galaxies upon galaxies of energy are
all working overtime to try to help
me comprehend how God could make
someone as beautiful as you. Each
individual star in my eye made by looking
at you is just another individual reason
for me to hold you in my heart."
And after this,
she realized that every second of every
day her beauty radiating off of her
was responsible for each and every star
in the universe. Since the boy's eyes
are merely a reflection of light to
what he sees, and all he saw…
was her.
