You never found my body. All that was left of me on the bridge was the golden necklace you offered me during our first year anniversary and a small note, written with all that I was able to muster:
When you gaze upon the starry sky, know that I am out here, watching over you.
What does it even mean? What do the stars matter, when all there is on this earth is the ever-consuming void you left in place of your loving embrace?
That's what you must have told yourself. I never even gave you an explanation. There was nothing you could cling onto, except the fading patterns of my existence. I saw you coming back home, and seeing the half-eaten pastry I left behind, the coffee filter I had thrown away, the pancakes I made for you before leaving home forever. You couldn't understand the reason for these gestures if they were followed by such a selfish act?
I know there are no good answers to this question. Yet, I hope that some day, you will look at the sky. And in this vast emptiness, you will notice a shining star, and you'll feel this strange intuition that it is looking back at you.
Know that I found something there. A world made of our unachieved dreams and hopes. This is where I'll be waiting for you, an eternal ballad into bliss and love most pure. And I'll be there, for as long as you keep me in your heart.
Please, don't forget me.
I love you. I always did. And I always will.
Forevermore shining.
