someone once told me there are more stars than grains of sand
I think about that a lot
once when I was young I tried to count all the sand on the beach
I gave up at 72
last night I tried to count all the stars
I gave up when they were no longer stars but instead the freckles in your irises
I gave up at 2
someone once told me there are more atoms in a human than there are stars
when I met you I began counting your atoms
and even when I've counted all the ones between your fingers and behind your ears and in your ribcage
I won't give up on you
