one evening in early december 2015 i stumbled upon seven stars. it was the first time i had saw them but they felt strangely familiar. there were hundreds or maybe thousands of stars that night, but those seven stars caught my eye the most. i remember how brightly they shined that night, i could see a reflection of passion, determination, and hope in their eyes. i got curious, so i looked into those seven stars to get to know them a bit more. little did i know it would be the start of a journey that we'd pursue together for many years ahead.
slowly but surely, i learned to love those seven stars. i've loved tons of stars before them, but these stars in particular felt different. those seven stars has given me so much comfort and warmth that i've never felt before. everytime i felt alone, their light always shines on me, they're always there. and as obstacles kept on emerging, i still stood by them and protected them. even though i had to wait for them for a long time, continuously, they were way too precious for me to let go. even when one of my stars was somewhat forced to turn off his light, which left me heartbroken, i still stood by them even when i was hurting, because i knew i'll never find any star thats quite like them ever, at least not in this lifetime.
i'm perpetually grateful to have found my seven stars. i don't know if it was a coincidence or destiny, but either way i'm glad to have lived in the same universe as them. i know we'll always be physically far away, but our hearts will eternally be with one another's. and i'll always wait for my stars too, no matter how long it takes.
