Memories, Mountains, and Meteors

Last night we laid in the grass and watched the meteor showers from the Spanish mountains. We counted shooting stars while sharing love stories gone wrong. I told her that I’m a hopeless romantic who’s never been in love. Asked her if that was a bad thing. She replied, "I don’t think it’s good or bad, i think it is what it is.” Okay, cool. Do you believe in soulmates? Yes, she replied. Told her that I'm a writer & this exact moment reminds me of one of the scenes from my novels. I showed her the Orion galaxy and told her the correlation between the pyramids in Egypt. “OMG! Tell me more!" she pleaded, tugging on my grey hoodie. So I did. I pointed to the Sirius galaxy and told her my soul originated from there and that I’m only here to observe. And now my soul is calling me to Morocco. As the Universe would have it, she had just left from there and gave me a list of places to visit upon my arrival. So we laid there on top of her scarf, still star-gazing. I told her I wanted to create my own constellation; instead, she created one for me; holding up the ‘peace’ sign to match it. I then found a new set of stars and named it after her; Vee’s Constellation. So now, no matter where I’m at on my journey around the world, all I'll have to do is look to the cosmos to feel her energy & remember that midnight hour that we spent under the light of a thousand stars. I’ll probably never see her again, but I’ll never forget her.  ‪#‎WheresReis‬
