For years, I'd been wandering all around, trying to find a shelter, a place to rest my head.
A place where I could feel wanted because no one would ever want an alien in his home.
Up until one day, a man passed by and said hello to me. I tilted my head confused because this was
the first time. My heart said "stay away, he might be dangerous" but my heart longed for a friend, so I replied with a "hello". He smiled. I smiled back.
Time passed by, we turned out to fill each other perfectly, or that's what I thought. We did so many things together. Things that I always want to try, even for the bad ones. He laughed at my stupid jokes and smiled when I teased him.
Once, I told him the truth. I explained that I'm an alien. He replied that he knew and he didn't care, he would accept me as I am. He even gave me a star to light me up when the dark filled my night and that made my sky was never grey anymore.
Just when my naive mind whispered to me this could be a perfect ending, the season changed.
I was caught. They knew I'm an alien and judged me for who I am. They accused me for trying to steal him from the earth, lured him to join me in a planet he would never want to live in.
So I cried, knowing that they might be right. I could never live in the earth forever, for I was running out of time. The day would come when I could no longer stand living here, I should return and what am I supposed to do? Because leaving him is like leaving a part of me and taking him is like murdering him,
So I accepted every single advice they gave. I left him all alone. I turned my back and pretended I was heartless as an alien should be because I couldn't stand seeing him walked away. I'm watching as our world collapsed, leaving deep cuts that I prayed so hard to God that time could heal.
Sometimes when he didn't know, I took a glance at him from a distance, seeing his withered and knowing that this was my fault. I should have never replied a "hello" because I am an alien, I never would be the same as him, or anyone, or anything...
I'm so sorry...
