To be in love with the stars is a different experience than to be in love with the moon. Being in love with the moon is a wonderful thing. After all, it's captivating, it's beautiful, it's the most noticeable entity in the sky. But to be in love with the stars is to appreciate the common features between them and still find beauty in them. Akin to being in love with a background character, not everyone notices them, but they are beautiful. It's to appreciate all the simple things.
Some judge me for not being under the moon's spell like everyone else is. But I simply don't care-. I'd never put fault on those who are in love with the moon, though I believe they genuinely miss what actually makes the sky so beautiful. They'll never realize how the stars shine brighter than the moon ever could on its own. The ones who love the moon are the ones who are taken aback by its glow but never respect the sun that makes it happen. And that's what makes them incapable of slowing down in both motion and thought.
To the one who looks upon my love letter to the stars, I hope you find it within yourself to take a break and sit down. To lay in the most flowery field, you can find. And take a second to look up at the sky once more and admire not only the moon but the stars and limitless galaxies that the eye cannot perceive.
