whenever I miss someone a lot, I just remind myself that
we’re all made of stardust
every atom of me
is the same as every atom of you
every small speck of being in me
is in you

our grains of life collide and merge
and intertwine and weave stubbornly into a tight immortal coil,
ceaselessly,
we are one

and so the distance
is not so great after all
