The last star hung in the darkened sky for what seemed like ages. We watched it together, sitting hand-in-hand atop the pile of rubble left from a crumbled mountain. It flickered once, then started to wobble, and then finally, at long last, it fell… tumbling down into the dry bed where a river once ran to the sea.
I looked at him. He looked at me.
“Well,” I said. “It was nice while it lasted.”
“I could keep loving you a little longer, you know,” he said. “I don’t have to stop.”
“No,” I said, shaking my head. “A deal is a deal.”

With a quick google:
“Baby I’m Yours” by Cher or The Arctic Monkeys
