I'll hold my breath and count to ten. Seventeen. I am the light that hides within the void of shadows. Even when you think you've seen all of me, the light morphs into different hues. This tends to happen when I'm around you or anyone really, you see, never completely violet translucent. I want you, and I choose you: the stars and the sun.

I will make use of the things before me to change in order to find my way back to the sun and stars. As they say, turn your face towards the sun and let the shadows fall behind you.

Remember in time that I promised to fight for the sun and stars. I was scared - hell, I still am, but what's love without a little fear?

See, darlin', even the stars shine for you.

I wanted to say the little things and the big things. I still will, even if the sun is not listening. I will whisper it to the stars with a faded-out delivered circle. Everything will come out of the cosmos, whether in fear, or confidence -- or both. I am okay with this, even if space confuses the hell out of me. I would rather be confused with the chance of being with the sun and stars than certain within the void.

The Sun, The Stars, The Moon, The Void, The Light -- The Space.
