let’s start it off like this; you were the earth and i was the moon in the past life.
i orbited you every second of my life, was spinning around you; watching you.
but you were a planet, and i wasn’t.
—or was i?

i always meant to be your satellite, keeping a safe distance. though there was always an attraction between us, in the form of gravitation.
but deep down inside us, there was something growing that we never understood. and i thought it was how we grow as a person.

because the scientists proved that the moon is actually acting like a planet, just like the earth.
and from there i understand, however strong i tried to grow like you do, we will always be different, despite the gravitation we keep between us.
