I sat on the roof, thoughts boiling over in my head. I was thinking about the day. That day. The day she left. It had been three months since she had departed for Tamaran, to stop a war on her planet. But, it was not how she left that I was remembering, it was the words she said to me before she flew away.

FLASHBACK

"Robin, I must go. I am part of the royal family, and there is a war on my planet." She looked at me, her gorgeous emerald eyes pleading, her auburn hair slightly obscuring her face.

"Then I'll come with you." I said, not willing to let her go so easily.

"Robin, I…Jump City needs you… you cannot," she looked sad for a moment. "Do not come because… I do not want you there." She looks sadder, her perfect features growing more depressed with each word.

"Starfire, why?" I asked, not knowing if I really wanted to hear the answer.

"Because I… I do not love you anymore!" she practically burst into tears, which was nothing compared to how I felt.

END FLASHBACK

I was almost not able to say goodbye when she left. I was in too much pain. But I did not know how long it would be until I would she her again, so I tried as best as I could to block out the stabbing pain in my heart, and went to say goodbye.

I sat there; lost in thought, reliving all the good times Star and I had had together. Then, I said this aloud, because I wanted it to be heard. I wanted the sky, the wind, and the ocean to know that I still cared about her. Most of all, I think I wanted Star to know it. "She may not love me," I looked at the sky, where the sun had just finally set, and night was emerging. "But I still love her. And I hope she is okay."

All of a sudden, I heard a sweet voice ring from behind me. One that had caused me so much joy, laughter, and pain. "Who says I do not? And believe me, I am quite well." My head whipped around. This was to good to be true. Without thinking, I leapt up out of pure joy and hugged her, and to my surprise and delight, she kissed me full on the mouth. After about thirty seconds, I pulled away.

"But I thought…" I say in surprise, studying her beautiful face, bright with joy.

"Oh, dear Robin," she said placing a hand on my face. "Do you not see why I had to say such things?" I shook my head no, waiting for an answer. "I knew that unless you believed that I no longer wanted you by my side, you would follow. And putting you into danger… is as bad as death itself. But this was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. I was, as you say 'shocked' you believed me so easily." She looked down at the floor. "But if you no longer love me, of course I understand."

"Hey, Star," I said. "I'm here now. And I'll always love you." She smiled at me, sheepishly picking up her head.

"As will I." She smiled and kissed me again, this time more passionately, wrapping our arms tightly around each other and pulling closer. Finally, both getting what we had been deprived of for too long. We stayed that way for a long time.

I finally broke away from her, smiled, and whispered, "Next time you go away, just tell me you don't want me to come." She laughed her beautiful laugh and hugged me. I looked up at the stars, with one thought in my head. ' Please don't ever leave me again, love.'
