Leading Me

I've always been fascinated with clear skies glittered by stars at night. I always feel this calming sensation everytime I see them appearing one by one through the slowly fading light of the sun especially whenever I see Orion slowly rising above me, knowing that he'll be there watching over me as I fall asleep. 

They're my security blanket. My anchor to the time where life once was as simple as finding joy in making a wish to the first star at night. When I was a kid, it doesn't matter if the wish would come true anytime soon; what matters for me was that I was able to make a wish, and it's only an added bonus if it ever comes true. And tonight, when I looked at the stars, I finally understood this weird feeling I get whenever I think of you. I realized that with you, I feel the same things I've felt everytime I watch the star-sprinkled sky. 

You amaze me, your presence always leave me in awe. You make me feel safe, knowing that in the dark, I'd find this flickering light shining from you. You gave me hope, that even though the stormy clouds come in between us, you'd still be there on the other side, waiting for my eyes to find you once more. You made me feel reckless, making me throw away the maps and plans I was forced to make just because that's what most people do. Instead, you made me follow your light and trust my own heart, the heart that you are now holding in your hands. 

Nobody else has ever made me feel this way before. Nobody else. Only the night sky glittered with stars.

And You.
