And the universe was left hanging...

Only a select few conscious beings in the abyss know of the fates of man.
While the cosmos goes through its routines, the depths and mysteries of mankind unfold.
It captivates every corner of the expanse. One such fated love blazed across the vacuum.
Every fiber of existence strained to see the outcome - to witness a beautiful culmination.

But the lovers turned. Silent, space held its breath, looking to a collective consciousness.
Through a dry mouth, Love's being assured their connection. Even Love had to watch...
Their lips parted from one another, but their eyes remained transfixed. Lost deeply in the soul of the other. The air melted in the space between. Then, Time stepped in front of Love.

Nobody could see. The material and the ethereal hovered around the intimate feelings.
Everything visible became brighter and more beautiful; everything intangible grew warm.
When the woman sighed, even Time closed its eyes. And the universe was left hanging.
