i have an affinity for celestial bodies

"I can see the stars in your eyes.

I see them when you look at the world with such fervor and hope, 

the fire flickering behind your irises like a supernova.

Sometimes those stars dim a little,

like when you come to me crying about how someone treated you,

or how helpless you feel in the grand scheme of the universe.

You’re just a little star, not a planet or even a moon.

How could you ever make a difference?

But stars, they burn with a heat that cannot be extinguished for eons.

They provide light to a world that has only ever seen darkness

Just as a planet births life, a star nourishes it.

Because without it, that planet would be cold

And lifeless

And barren

And I am that planet.

And you are that star.

And that is the difference you make."
