'Sometimes when I'm alone, I can see you in the stars. I see that you are happy and content. That is satisfying in it self.'
Sometimes, I see him roam the sky as a beautiful silver dragon, completely free. Haku's smile is so radiant.
Sometimes I see him swim in the water. That's when he smiles the most. The stars always twinkle when he's happy.
Other times, I see the past. I see the places we've been to. I see the day we met or those precious few times when we were together. Those moments are priceless gems that are held in the sky by my deep love for Haku. I know I can always find him in the night sky, no matter where he goes. However, no matter how hard I try – he cannot see me.
Sometimes I talk to Haku. I say things like ' I miss you' or 'Haku, can you see me?' I become so frustrated when he doesn't reply. I've tried everything: Screaming, crying, singing, and laughing; but nothing works. Haku never looks down from the stars – at least not in my direction. Somehow the stars bright glow silences all spoken words to heaven.
But I still continue to try to talk to him and beg the stars for admittance.
No matter how old I get or far away I go, I know he will always be in my stars. My adventures with him will never end as long as my stars are found in the sky. A small part of me will always be with him. That's all that really matters. I smile.
I can still see the last time we had met…
The special night had started out normal enough. I had gone to be alone and try again at my window. I had just begun to plead with the distant diamonds. Usually my despair goes to unanswered ears, but that night had been different. The stars had actually heard my prayer. Somehow my desire for acknowledgment had been heard.
Suddenly I'd found Haku, and instead of him flying, or swimming off in a different direction – he'd looked directly at me. His face had immediately turned to recognition as he had dazzled me with a loving smile. The stars had shimmered in a similar fashion.
His mouth had opened, but no words had come out. My joy had faltered. The stars had been still too bright for sound to be passed.
I had hurried and tried to have read his lips. I had been desperate to understand his eyes, a window to his soul. I had wanted to know everything that he had to say to me.
Noticing that our time was precious, I had decided to try and tell him something. 'Maybe he can understand my words.' With a rush of courage, I had yelled back. I had said, 'I love you, Haku. I'll always be with you, watching.' I noticed then, that he had begun to fade.
I think he had heard me and had tried to reply, but the stars had begun to dim. The last thing I had seen was Haku's sad face and the falling stars that had made him look like he was crying. Then he had vanished.
Dawn had arrived.
