As I gazed at the celestial sky, I came across a star. It was bright and brilliant yet unattainable. My power was limited, my hunger insatiable. I thought if I stared long enough, my limits would be surpassed. But I was wrong. Desire demanded action. And without it, forever it would last. I searched within myself to find the answer. It remained hidden from detection, so I searched you instead. Your eyes were flawless gems and untarnished was your complexion. Those gems reflected the heavens. And had captured what I desired. I was complete. Nothing more was required. I had managed to attain the unattainable.

The Unattainable
As I gazed at the celestial sky, I came across a star. It was bright and brilliant yet unattainable. My power was limited, my hunger insatiable. I thought if I stared long enough, my limits would be surpassed. But I was wrong. Desire demanded action. And without it, forever it would last. I searched within myself to find the answer. It remained hidden from detection, so I searched you instead. Your eyes were flawless gems and untarnished was your complexion. Those gems reflected the heavens. And had captured what I desired. I was complete. Nothing more was required. I had managed to attain the unattainable.
