But once light was brought into the cave, everything changed.
The roof was littered with crystals, now refracting and glittering in response to the torch.
And the shallow waters below, reflected the radiance above, creating two sets of starry skies for the companions to stare at in awe.
Holding hands, they shared this moment.
Beautiful, though it was, neither one could stop themselves wishing the others could have made it this far . . .
Slow falling tears caressed each of their smiling faces.
Their simultaneous devastation and wonderment could only live in this quiet place.
A place of beauty, and of sorrow.
Both empty and full.
After a brief eternity housed within several moments, she turned to him and said, "Look: there's a sky for each of us."
He smiled at the offer and replied, "If it's alright with you, I'd rather share mine."
