My mom used to sing me to sleep each night until I was seven.
I barely remember her voice, and the soft touch of her fingers running through my hair.
I worry I'll forget her completely. Poof, she never existed. Like I never even had a family on Earth. Like I was only focused on bringing down Zarkon, like I was only focused on anything else.
When she sang to me, I'd look up at the plastic stars across my ceiling, dreaming of the future.
I never thought it would've ended up like this

You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take
My Sunshie
Away.
You are my sunshine,
my only sunshine
I cry to sleep with
Nobody here
You'll never know, dear,
How much I miss you.
I wish no one took
My Sunshine
Away.

When I lived on Earth, I loved the shy. And moon. And mostly the stars. I'd think of what was out there, what we could build and discover. Now I laugh until I wish I existed as one instead of among them.
