Dear distant lover

Why do I waste my nights dreaming of you? Like the dimmest star in the darkest velvet, my rays are masked by the rays of the billions of billion others brighter than I. I am only a mere speck of dust that is eluded by your sight. Yet it is all just a matter of distance and not who shines brightest. Separated by millions of light years, constrained by our short lifetime, I will never get to you.
