“If the stars have their say” If the stars have their say, we will collide again, our paths tangled like threads in an old story, crossing and uncrossing, finding each other in every lifetime. There is a kind of beauty in the ache, in the way we love like it’s war, fierce and unrelenting, holding on to fragments of us— the stolen glances, the touch that lingers, every moment heavy with the weight of almost and not quite. We love as if each second could be the last, as if our hearts were never meant to beat alone, and there’s nothing braver than letting ourselves remember, letting ourselves feel it all, again and again.”

“The ‘60s were a very turbulent time for colored people. Being away at war was a chance for them to escape the racial bullshit for a while. It was a shame it came down to that kind of choice. Don’t get me wrong. There were plenty of guys, who tried to bring that racial crap over there with them. However, when the shit hits the fan, you don’t give a damn about who’s standing next to you, saving your ass. You certainly don’t care what color his skin is or what language he speaks. All that matters to you is that he is an American G.I. Government Issued, baby!”

“Baby, I’m so sorry. You know I wouldn’t feel right, if I ran away from my responsibilities. I’d have to live with that decision for the rest of my life. My being in the war could save lives. My running away will only save mine. It’s a selfish decision to make. I’ll come back to you. I promise.”
