You always loved the stars. We shared a love for them together. The vastness of space and time made us feel a little less lonely out there in the world. The deep, velvet skies reminded us of the boundless possibilities that exist beyond our reach. Shining with timeless brilliance, a testament to the enduring beauty and misery of the universe.
Within each star, is a story. Just as each person we meet in our journey has their own unique tale. We too, were like the stars; connected by invisible threads, adding light to each other’s worlds. Just as the stars enlighten the darkest skies, those we hold dear brighten our lives, guiding us through moments of uncertainty and pain.
The silence has been heavy recently, the weight of absence, the ache of memories shared. Though, through the darkness within me, in the midst of emotional tempest, I feel glimpses of light. Even these days in the most profound sadness, there are paths back to hope, illuminated by those precious moments and the comfort a starry night.
The glistening lights eternal and unwavering bring inspiration to cherish those we love, as I am reminded of our place in the universe and the intricate web of connections that binds us all. No matter where on our journey these connections are made, they were always written in those same stars. A constellation of memories past and future, all tucked and hidden away for those times when needed the most.
Now I talk to the sky, hoping you’re there listening. Because you always loved the stars. Its funny how they seemed to shine a little brighter when you decided to join them.
