How much had he loved her, that he died every night so she could breathe?

The sun had loved the moon for a million years, every night for this millions years he let her shine with his light. He died every night so she could live. The moon on the other hand had a price to pay, she endured the scorching of the sun, the burns she got every night from him, she took it all and hoped for the day they could be together in the sky, the day none of them would have to die for the other.

But one day the sun got tired, he got fed up with having to die every night, he got tired of letting the moon take glory for the light he gave at night. He found flaws with the stars that accompanied the moon at night. On that night the moon waited but the sun never showed up, she couldn't glow that night, she knew he had left her. She sat up there in the sky and no one noticed, because the source of her light had gone and she could glow no more.

Tears fell as the moon wept, the salty water from her eyes awoke the cloud and fell on the earth as rain. None of the scars twinkled that night. The universe sent off the breeze of melancholy that night. Till today the moon waits, hoping that one day the sun would come back. She doesn't mind the scorches from the sun, she just wanted the source of her light back, the sun was all she needed to glow again. Perhaps that might never happened but she has never forgotten that for a million years, he dies every night so she could live.
