Celestial Solace

When I ceased writing about you, it felt as the writer within me was fading away.

When you began to walk away from me, it felt as the stitches on my body started to open.

My eyes searched you in the familiar places where we used to meet, but without your presence the world around me turned colorless.

Without your glittering eyes to adorn the darkest corners of my life, I sought solace among the myriad stars in the sky.

The moon may not hide behind Saturn, but I always cradled you within my arms.

Mermaids may not dwell in the deep sea, yet you remained at the very core of my heart.

We cannot grasp oxygen in our hands, but its presence is always felt as we breathe.
Similarly, I may not always have you physically by my side, but your essence lingers in the glittering stars, the luminous moon, and the golden rays of the sunrise.
