Maybe this wasn't meant to be. Maybe this was just a vivid imagination of what could be. I fell in love with the idea, not the journey. The trepidation in my heart consumed me. if this was meant to be, if the stars lined up just right, for me this to be, why is it a stone in my heart? somehow I became the girl who became addicted to something she needs, not wants. What I wanted was to dance. I wanted to paint the colors of my life with what I have. But the stars and planets are never stationary. They kept moving, and I was moving with them.

the stars and my heart.

this was inspired by John Donne's A Valediction : Forbidden Mourning. Thank you for reading it :)
