A place in which I know nothing about, an unknown world
A world unlike any I have ever known to exist, an opposite of this reality
A place only to be traveled to by deep sleep or sweet reverie
A world of pure innocence and raw creativity, a world of adventure and fantasy
A place where you can fly into the cosmos
And soar through the universe until you become nothing but sparkling stardust

A realm where blood isn't pumping through your veins, but rather what flows through is stardust
A world within a world
A realm where physicalities are meaningless and existence lies within the cosmos
A world that causes you to question your own rendition of the word "reality"
A realm that both defines and illustrates the meaning of the word "fantasy"
And is inherently bigger than any one dream or reverie

Something like that of an endless reverie
A myriad of universes and ever-glowing stardust
Something like that of an endless fantasy
A myriad of imaginings and an ever-growing illusory world
Something like that of a castle in the sky, nothing like that of harsh reality
A myriad of thoughts that turn into pictures and skies that turn into the cosmos

Have you ever journeyed into the cosmos?
Through shut eyes and intense dreaming or through glassy eyes and pleasant reverie?
Have you ever left this reality?
Joined the entities of another realm, disintegrated into the galaxy and became stardust?
Have you ever traveled to another world?
Became another entity, fully embraced a potent fantasy?

I wish to travel to this place and immerse myself in the fantasy
I want to become one with the cosmos
And escape the physical world
I wish to travel to this place and immerse myself in the reverie
I want to become one with the universe through the merging of our inner reaching stardust
And escape this tugging reality

Nothing is more terrifying or confining than what I know as reality
Nothing is more appealing or liberating than what I know as fantasy
I am a soul and I am stardust
I am the universe and I am the cosmos
I am a dream and a reverie
All within a world outside of a world

A place existing outside the lines of reality, a place within easy reach of the cosmos
A world born unto fantasy, a world fueled through reverie
A realm overpowered by stardust, a realm that is not of this world

That one glance
Was all it took
One meager look into his eyes
That set my heart alight
One glance
Two sets of eyes
Staring through to each other
Riveted
Captivated
Locked together
A force of continuum pulling us
Closer and closer
That one glance

The first night
He caught my heart
And sent my insides alight
That first kiss
And hands held
The brace against the unrelenting tide of waiting
Longing
For the next time our lips would meet
The next time our hands would join again

Nothing is ever lost
But rather misplaced

If you are looking
Keep looking
If you are searching
Keep searching
If you are lost
Do not give up hope
For you will be found

If one looks
One can find
If one is lost
One can be found
Again and again

He immediately recognized her as a kindred spirit by the way she talked and gesticulated
She was putting careful consideration into what she said and how she said it in an effort to break through her troublesome existential isolation and to bridge those gaps in perception
He found her so intriguing
And compelling
She was someone who seemed to have a great deal of distress when it came to trying to differentiate her imagination from reality
She looked sad
She looked angry
She looked cool and collected
She looked different from everyone else he knew
She could not put on that happy face others wear when they know they are being watched
She never put on a face for him
Which made him trust her somehow
There was something about her that tugged at his heart from the first moment his eyes met hers

She immediately recognized him as a kindred spirit by the way he talked and gesticulated
He was putting careful consideration into what he said and how he said it
And he was doing it quite well
Her eyes locked to his so easily, she almost felt frightened upon meeting him
But it was exhilarating
He was someone who seemed to hold a great deal of passion within him
Especially when it came to doing what he loved and his life and the people in it
She looked into his eyes and seemed to feel within her own self what he felt within his self
He looked mystical
He looked bright
He looked intense and riveting
He looked different from everyone else she knew
He did not look at her with the same face as everyone else
He looked at her like she was actually there
Which made her trust him somehow
The moment their eyes first met was the moment their souls first touched
