when i look up at the stars i always think too much.

 

i think about the nuclear fusion that is the only thing that keeps them going,

 

the atoms that are forced together to produce the amount of energy

 

needed for me to be able to see them. i think about

 

the millions and billions and trillions of stars that i can never hope of seeing,

 

so i let myself be content with the ones i can, and by the time my brain

 

is venturing into thoughts about the universe i stop because

 

i can't even begin to comprehend it.

 

when i look at the stars,

 

i think of you.

 

i always think too much when i look at you.

 

you're a single star, and i can barely comprehend you.
