I can spend my whole life reaching for stars
only to be disappointed to find palms full of nothing but air,

As I grew up I learned that stars will never
provide me with the fuel I need to fill my lungs,
only air can do that.

But I still catch myself reaching for stars.
I still catch myself reaching for him sometimes,
even though there's no point.

even when I reach for the stars, the air still lends it's hand. i only hope it never leaves, only then I will understand what it is to not breathe. I know I'm reaching for something useless when I have what I need in front of me, but let me learn. let me learn. one day I'll take a deep breath in, and I will learn. I will learn what I need. please don't suffocate me. please don't leave.
