the kind of lovers that for some external reason cannot be together. originates from an old tale, where 7 daughters of a god and goddess lived in some sort of heaven, one of them was a weaver, the best actually. she begged her mother to let her go down to earth, after a while her mother agreed but she had to go with her sisters. they were all playing around in a little river when all of the sudden a man appeared, he was a farmer he was walking with some kind of cow, and he fell for her, she was the most beautiful person he had ever seen and so did she. she decided to stay with him to make a life of their own and they did. until she decided to go visit her family in the heavens, her mother was furious, she actually did not let her go back down to earth for a while, it didn't matter how much she begged her mother wouldn't break, after what it felt like years her mother agreed to let her go down again but she wouldn't be able to go back to her anymore. so she did. even after everything that happened they were able to love each other in the end.

star- crossed lovers.

friend: so how did it go with him at the end?

me: well, let's just say that the stars were not in our favour.
friend: I am sure you guys will find your way to each other again.
me: I hope so.

friend: you guys are just star-crossed lovers.

me: I was hoping you wouldn't say that. now our love is in the hands of something we don't know or can control.
friend: it always works at the end, or in another life. just keep true to your love for them.
