Les Étoiles

I like looking at stars because it is technically looking into the past.
Ancient light.
The stars, most of them are probably dead.
Stars that are long gone shine brightly in my night sky.
I'm reading their stories unknowingly.
I hope that's how people remember me after I'm gone.
I wish to shine brightly in the eyes of others after I'm long gone.
I sometimes forget how big a star really is but right now in this moment, the stars are far enough to only be beautiful to those who notice.
If there is life or another planet, in a distant galaxy.
I hope they are happy and I hope they are looking at us and they are smiling.

Sweet

She told me that the past is sweeter when we observe the present and build the future but for how long do I forget?
