To the one who always stay~✨
I am a star in everyone's sky... Do you know why? Because no one looks for a star until the sky is empty enough to notice it. The moon is adored. People wait for it, write poems about it, compare their lovers to it. Even in its absence, they speak of when it will return. But stars? They remain. Night after night, they burn quietly in the same place, asking for nothing, leaving no one, yet rarely becoming anyone's favorite sight. The moon changes its face, disappears, returns, and still the world falls in love with it over and over again. A star does not leave. A star does not change. A star simply stays. And perhaps that is why it is forgotten. To most people, stars are only decorations scattered around the moon's beauty, countless lights blended into a single background. No one writes, "You are my star." Because stars are many, and the moon is one. And maybe that's what I am in your life— not the moon you search for when the night arrives, but a star. Present in every dark sky you've ever known, yet so ordinary in your eyes that my absence would be unnoticed even if I'm gone.
