To the one from the star,

I don't remember falling in love with you. Was it the first time I'd laid my eyes on you? Or was it the second time when you decided you could just walk me to school?

I honestly do not remember.

But the memories I hold in my heart weighs me down with a sadness today that once used to be joy. Hope.

Hope is cruel. So are you.

But you were beautiful. Still are, I think. I remember that night when mom didn't come home and dad was passed out cold. I was too badly bruised to cook myself a decent meal. So I'd just skipped dinner anyway.

I recall sitting on the roof, stargazing like my life depended on it. The universe was a beautiful thing. With the stars and all. So why was my life an ugly mishap?

I don't remember crying. Winter probably had frozen my tears like a sheet of frost over my heart. But I remember meeting you that night. On the roof. Of my house.

It was snowing like every other night. And I don't know how you'd managed to climb up or fly down beside me, but I'd definitely felt your presence.

It was scary for the first time. You just popped out of nowhere you know. You probably should've given me a signal of some sort? Or...anything really! Anything is better than sneaking up on someone like that. Definitely freaked me out!

But I think I was left dumbstruck when I first saw you. You had these beautiful golden eyes with specks of silver like the stardust. Your hair was a matted curl of brown and midnight black. And your skin -- they glowed like the night sky! Like Edward Cullen from Twilight. If anyone thought Edward was a joke under the sun, they probably would've shut up once they saw you. Actually saw you.

You were an angel who I gawked at like a hopeless freak. But you didn't shy away from me. You didn't leave me there alone. You just smiled a smile that could've lit a thousand lanterns.

"Who are you?" I remember asking you.

"Just somebody." You'd smiled. The same smile that I now realise had anchored me to earth for so long.

"Where did you come from?"

"From the stars above."

And now when I think about it, I know when was it that I first fell for you...
