Keep Counting The Bright Ones.

We keep counting the stars just to lose count, just like we keep depending on each other to lose each other. This is all so new and different, but even though I'm scared because of it, the idea and exploration of it all, is actually comforting. We don't wait forever to find the ones we love and we don't wait forever for the ones we love to catch up. In fact, we simply move forward so the waiting isn't time consuming, and we move forward so we can grow closer. Just like the distance between us and the stars, and losing track of where we are, we don't have to keep losing ourselves. We're not afraid of getting close to each other and we're not afraid of waiting, we're afraid of running out of time, and because of that, we grow impatient. Such a simple thing is turned into a mess in our heads. It scratches the surface of our true feelings and we start to say things we don't mean, we start getting distant from the ones who really do want to be in our lives. We can't just burn out like a shooting star, because there's millions of stars to replace that one in the sky, but there's only one of you on this planet, and nobody can replace an individual human being with a beating heart. Every nerve, cell, ounce of blood, every beat that our hearts pump out, it's all significant and not one person can replace that individual that we once thought we knew and loved. Why keep counting the stars when we just get lost in the beauty they have? It's not about the look or keeping score, it's about comfort and that backbone of support. We can't keep counting on each other for happiness and we can't keep getting distant because fear has taken control over us. Get lost in what's beautiful, not because of the exterior, but because of the interior. Stop being afraid to live out your life because of the fear that has control and stop counting on others to fill that pathetic excuse that you call a void in your heart. You can't jump from one person to the other because you're lonely, just like you can't skip stars because your eyes got tired. Be true and be real, and when you burn out, keep shining. Keep your spark going, because one day, I'll find my place again, and I'll find you in the dark, but this time, I'll be in control. I won't lose count, and I won't lose you. Never give up on anything or anyone just because it's not physically presented to us in the time that we expect it to be. Besides, the ones who are furthest away, are actually closer than you know. I'm closer than you know, and I'm closer to you than the stars are to your naked eye.
