what do you think when you see stars?

the feeling that everything will be okay. i see nirvana in the stars above. i feel the rain cascade down my cheekbones. my eyes flutter and see a faint rainbow etching across the cloudy, grey sky. a glimpse of you and i, our story written across the stars. constellations that reflect our personality, the very fabric of who we are and who we’re meant to be.

nirvana - a miracle I wish to see.
