I stare at the stars... And even though there are so many…
““I stare at the stars... And even though there are so many and they look so close together, I know they are light years apart. The glitter in the sky looks as if I could scoop it all up in my hands and let the stars swirl and touch one another, but they are so distant, so very far apart, that they cannot feel the warmth of each other, even though they are made of burning. This is the secret of the stars , I tell myself. In the end, we are alone. No matter how close you seem, no one else can touch you .””
