i float against the vast emptiness of space and lose myself in memories of us.

even though sound does not travel, why do the stars communicate better than you?

do you wonder what i think of you, my darling? well, it's simple, really: you are the sun.

do you remember neptune?

how could i not. neptune, in all of its glory, shining its blue light into the galaxy as we know it. 

just as you, little astronaut, are. you see, you think that you are the astronaut, the traveler, the wisher– 

but you are the stars. your smile shines as bright as the sun and warms the universe one inch at a time. you radiate warmth and love and astronaut, my dear– you’ve forgotten who you are. 

you’ve traveled too far for me to follow.

i find the more i try to keep up the farther you seem to fly.

i turn off the engines.

in my dream, you pressed your lips to mine. we watched the stars die out and waited for the darkness to consume us. when i wake up, i will have to face that fate alone. i hope you'll remember me.
