you are 17 and still breathing.

you know there are people who have galaxies in their hearts, stars in their hair, and moons in their eyes. you're not one of them. you're not one of them and that's okay.

you? you know where the true secrets lie.

they do not reside in universes humans will never know, in stars light-years away. no, true secrets can be found only in what we think we know. we have never seen many of the stars. we have all seen birds' nests and clouds in an otherwise clear sky. we have all seen someone cry and someone laugh and someone breathe.

we have all seen two people look at each other like the person in front of them is the only thing in the universe. we have movies and books and songs and stories all about love. but we have never known it. we have never understood it.

you tell me i don't know what the secret is? i tell you, of course i don't. you don't either. that's why it's a secret. that's why it will never be solved.
