“Stars
Out of all the stars,
you were the one he looked to at night.
Not knowing that to him you shone brighter than the rest.
Even if there was an over abundance of bigger or brighter stars,
you were always the one
his eyes fell to.
The light he knew would guide him.
The one he searched for even on the most overcast nights.
I bet if you didn't spend time comparing your qualities to the others,
you would have noticed his eyes always locked on you.
But remeber he is the one who
knew you shone,
even before you did yourself.”
