In this excerpt, the narrator reflects on their life before meeting Bella, describing it as bleak and dark, much like a night without stars. Although there were some points of light, signifying small joys or reasons for living, the overall feeling was one of emptiness. The arrival of Bella is compared to a meteor that lights up the sky, representing a profound transformation filled with passion and beauty that alters the narrator's existence.

However, once Bella leaves, the brilliance fades, and the narrator returns to a state of darkness, unable to see any of the previously visible stars. This change signifies how Bella's presence brought meaning and joy, and her absence leaves the narrator feeling lost and devoid of purpose. The stark contrast between light and darkness illustrates the deep emotional impact of love and loss in their life.
