Why does Paz Marquez-Benitez entitled the story as Dead Stars?

The story was entitle "Dead Stars" to symbolize the love Alfredo had for Julia. At night, we see the light of numerous stars but what we don't know is that some of the stars are already dead. When stars are die, their glow diminishes then eventually vanishes. But for us on earth, it would take a long time for that to happen (consider the light-years it take for the light of stars to reach our planet). In the context of the story, Julia was Alfredo first love, thus young love. All along, Alfredo thought that he loves Julia but at the moment when Alfredo stares at Julia and touches her hand (last paragraphs), he realizes that the feeling has gone. Yes, he fell in love with Julia but his love wasn't something really serious and as I've said earlier, it was young love. It took him a long time to realize that he had no more feelings for Julia.
