No matter what I do, you are always there.
You are like the stars. When my day is bright, you hid behind the blue curtains of life. I forgot about you at those times, enjoying what I had at the moment.
But you kept me up at night.
At night, you are my glaring starlight; an embrace that will always be harsh in my eyes. Though being desperate to connect your patterns, I choose to lay underneath you and watch as you stare back down at me.
I didn't know if I should reach for you or not.
Like the stars in the sky, I never knew how close you really were until our eyes truly met. Even then, only time could tell if we'd be walking hand in hand or with you destroying everything I've ever had.
You were so quick, yet so slow.
And that was the thing that truly terrified me.
