"Off to Neverland, here we go!" I hear from the TV somewhere behind me. It was Peter Pan, exclaiming in excitement to his brand new friends, the Darlings, as they were about to set off into the sky with the use of pixie dust, and make their way into Neverland, the place where no-one aged.
But those words were only background sounds. I'm stuck in reality, where time goes on whether we want it to or not. Tonight I'm especially feeling the realness, partly because of the strong breeze that's passing over my shoulders and making me feel rather chilly, but also because I'm looking up at the clear, starry night sky.
For a second I get lost and think I see Peter, Wendy, John, Michael and Tinkerbell, before realising it's only an airoplane passing through the sky, with it's little but bright red and blue lights flashing every split second.
You're travelling tonight as well. There's no chance that the plane I see above me is the one you're in, as it's going in a completely different direction to your destination.
I doubt that the plane I'm seeing is travelling to dreams. It probably just contains tourists who are visiting for holidays, or leaving to go back home. Or maybe it contains locals who decided to visit a place somewhat different during these summery months.
You're not going on vacation. You, in fact, are travelling to your dreams. I look up and try to count the stars. I start to fear that they would soon start to disappear from my sight, as that's what you'd been working towards for months, years. Reaching for the stars.
I'm so happy to see you leave. You don't belong here. The place where I sit tonight and just stare up, isn't home to you, even though it has been ever since you were born. Home to you is where your destination is tonight.
If a tear rolls down my cheek, it's for the soul reason that I'm saying goodbye to a person I got so close to over the past few years to, a person who I talked to about things I wouldn't ever talk to anyone else about. That tear, though, will not roll for long. Deep down, I'm over the moon for you. The future ahead of you could not have seemed brighter, and that's all thanks to the behaviour you showed towards your dreams beforehand. It's well deserved.
So, just as the plane above me has done, make sure your wings are spread as far as possible, because great things are coming your way. I, the stargazer, only took over a tiny chapter in your life, the rest of the book is still unwritten, and that's exactly what you are bound to do with your arrival at Your version of Neverland, where people do grow, but they grow with fullfilled dreams.
