Did you know
That the universe is infinite
And the stars can't be numbered
That we'd run out of names
And number combinations
Before we've titled them all
Did you know
That our existence
Is so small
Compared to the existence
Of the stars
Of the vast space that is known
Only as void
Only as empty
Only as unknown
Did you know
We can't fathom infinity
Or recreate it
Even though we try
Because it is something
Made to be untouchable
Created to be unbreakable
Constructed to be unobtainable
Did you know
That reading this
Is as pointless
As writing it
And that nothing will ever
Truly
Have meaning
Did you know
We stare at the stars
Because we want to touch them
But most stars we see
We would not arrive to
Before its light dimmed
And died
Right before
Our very eyes
And did you know
That someone
Despite reality and expectation
Will find you
With all your horrendous
Unforgivable flaws
And all your miserable
Unforgivable sins
And still love you
More than the stars
That were created to be kept
From the imperfection
Humanity inflicts
Upon everything it touches
And did you know
That forgiveness
Is not as hard to give
As a grudge is to hold
And did you know
That in spite of everything
I'll still hold on
To every damn thing
Someone says
Just because
I loved them
In another lifetime
In another year
In another moment
I loved them for a second
And now they mean everything to me
Did you know
That all I wanted that night
That you left
Was a hug
From you specifically
And to be told
"Everything will be okay"
Did you know
That if you did that today
I would either hit you
Or cry
I would either laugh at you
Or smile
Did you know
That fragile things
Are bound to break
Did you know
That broken things
Can be fixed
Did you know
That I think
That things fixed
Are prettier
Than things whole
