*It was a night like any other. Then I saw you. From that moment on, I wanted nothing more to stop and stare at you. It was painful always having to look up to the heavens to meet your gaze. But I endured it all. I constantly wanted to be near you, even if you outshone me in so many ways. I ran towards you. But no matter what I did to get closer, You’d seem much farther away from my grasp. Then finally after so much I had gone through, Finally I caught up with you! I did it. Then I looked again. You weren’t as bright as I thought you would be. I was disappointed. Things weren’t going the way they were supposed to be. I took one final last look at you. Deciding that you weren’t my whole world after all, I looked up. I was surprised to see. You were only one star among millions. You didn’t outshine everything else after all. I was just too blind to see, That you weren’t the only star in the galaxy.*

one last deep thought before I hit the sack. Duh. FINALLY. Sleep embrace me!
