I chuckle as two of my best friends fight over each other's opinions on A$AP Rocky's new song. Honestly I've probably only heard his songs on the radio or when someone plays it around me but I'm not that into pop music.

"Um I got to go now, they're going to pick me up at the corner of the 7eleven" Ari said, making Max and Cody look up and take a break from their quarrel. Ari walked up to Cody and me to say goodbye and then back to Max to kiss him goodbye properly. She walked away and I stared for a little.

"You should walk her to the corner Max" I whispered. He didn't hear me and got back to the -now more civilized- argument with Cody. I looked down the direction Ari went, arching my eyebrows a little and letting out a sight

Max and Ari have been dating since freshman year, they're somewhat high school sweethearts but he doesn't see her and she doesn't understand him. We've been friends since the start of their relationship. Ari is a wonderful girl, a very sweet and forward  person, she plays soccer, likes to draw and is in fact a great artist. She really puts effort into her art and dreams about being a big artist someday and open up her own galleries here in New York. Max is also a great guy, unlike her thought, he isn't much into sports and tends to be a loud person, the clown of the group you could say. She has many feelings to give, many dreams and ambitions, while he lives his days day by day. He doesn't have a tomorrow and that's all she dreams about.
They do love each other for now thought, in their own wrecked way that only they understand.

Maybe  years from now they'll lose each other. Maybe she'll get married, have 2 kids and name them inevitable after those two cactus they have now. Meanwhile he'll go from place to place but never stay, maybe he'll feel like he's missing something in his life until she goes on a trip and he finds her again. Then they'll really see each other, he will have dreams and she will have stability by then. They would balance out nicely. She'll let go of her husband and re marry him.

I look up, for now we're here, for now they're together. For now no one really cares. Not about the stars, nor my thoughts nor the future. So I come down from my cloud. 

The night is really beautiful but here the buildings light up the sky, not the stars. I'm searching for a star to light up the darkness, I'm tired of artificial light.
