What may never be.


There is a moment, when the stars are so vibrant, the sky so pale in comparison, and I cannot blink. I live in fear of missing this, even for a moment. My chest tightens, my eyes wont waver, and I cannot understand why there is a peacfulness in the stars. Why it makes more sense to live in them, than to be here. It is the only time in my life that I feel something so powerful that it brings tears to my eyes. Tears at their beauty, and what may never be.
