Looking for trouble? I highly suggest you look
elsewhere.
I often wonder what sort of man he might have become had the world been kinder to him. I cannot change what was taken from him, but stand beside him for what remains.
I am saddened that our paths have parted. More than I care to admit. But I will not curse the sky for taking what was never mine to keep, nor will I resent a star from wandering beyond my reach.
Perhaps it is because the star I met left behind such beautiful evidence of having existed, the colour and dust where there was once a light I knew by heart.
