At night, when I’m alone and I have time to myself, I think about life. It’s funny how the world can be so cold. Sometimes I feel that no one understands, no one can feel what I feel. Sometimes it gets so bad that I feel so black and cold deep inside, that I am alone. Sometimes I just want to scream and let out all that I feel inside. But I can’t. It’s not because I fear other may think I’m crazy or something. It’s because I fear that no one will hear me. So all I do is lay back, peer outside my window and gaze at the heavens. All I see is this vast, black emptiness that seems to never end. At least that’s what I thought when I saw a single star shining in the distance. I mean, there wasn’t anything else. With no one else around, I decided to pour myself out at the star. For once, I felt that someone out there was listening to me, that there was someone who cared. And as I drifted to sleep, the star was still there. And as I lay, it watched over me and kept me company. The following night, I waited to see if my shining friend was still there to light the darkness. But to my disappointment, it wasn’t. The sky was as dark and black as ever. That’s when the phone rang and I heard your voice. So that’s where you were. I’ve been searching for you and I’ve finally found you, my shining star.
