Saturn
• • •

It took nearly two weeks for my greatest wish to come true.

When I returned to my dormitory late one evening, there it was. Taped to my door with care was a pristine envelope reading; For Saturn, my love. It was refreshing to even read his handwriting. To see my name scrawled in his tall, pointed font.

There was not a second to lose. I tore the letter down from the door and opened it with eager fingers. Was this a dream? Likely not. If it was, then the letter wouldn't have given me a papercut in my desperate attempt to open it.

My dearest Saturn,
There are no words to describe the pain of being apart from you, but I wanted to start with I'm sorry. What an awful mistake I have made, what damage I have done to us both. In breaking off our relationship, I thought I was preventing you from having a life full of pain with me. But now, I see that my "solution" was anything but that. Luckily, I have news.

A real solution has been presented to me. You see, my father paid me a visit recently. In the past, I would have assumed that this meant the opposite of good news. However, my father has decided to pull me from the military program I am enrolled in. Like us all, he was shaken by the news of the recent losses we experienced. It was enough to make him change his mind, and release me from the bond that pulled me away from you. Although this will change my life in many ways, I hope more than anything else that it means you will consider forgiving me.

Every moment without you next to me has been excruciating, as I predicted it would be. But nothing could have prepared me for the true sorrows I have experienced during our time apart, my darling. I miss every single aspect of you. I need you like the air in my lungs. You are what keeps my heart beating. You are everything special about this life. I don't expect you to forgive me, after the many instances of my betrayal, dishonesty, and the pain I have inflicted on you. But please, princess. Consider loving me again the way I will always love you.

I need my Saturn, and you need your Sun.

Yours until the end of time,

-Calvin

Tears flooded my vision as I went to him. After reading the letter, nothing was going to stop me from finding him. I needed to seek him out, and pour my heart out. I needed him to know that I still loved him, that I would always love him. Forgiveness has never been hard for me. I knew that Calvin's time in the military was over at last, and it would never compromise him or our love ever again.

I burst through Tom and Darius's door without knocking. Luckily, neither of them were home, giving me a clear line to Calvin's door. I prayed that he was in there waiting for me. This time, I knocked. Three times to be exact. He would know it was me by the sound of it.

The door swung open, and once we saw each other, there was no need to speak. Calvin and I instantly connected like the world's strongest magnets. He lifted me into his room and closed the door with his back. His warm kisses met every inch of my exposed skin. I was alive again.

Day had broken at last.
