Chapter I · The Letter
✦

FOR YOU · WHEREVER YOU ARE

look up.
i'm under the same sky.

(a quiet little letter, told in stars)

II · THE DISTANCE

we are 1,842 km
apart tonight.

ME YOU
1,000
Kilometres
47
Days Apart
+2.5
Hour Offset

and yet, the same light from the same stars
reaches us both.

III · OUR CONSTELLATION

trace each star.

every one is a memory of us.

✦ tap each star to unlock a memory 0 of 8 lit
your laugh at my worst joke
your perfume on my hoodie
humming in the kitchen
the way you steal blankets
you, fast asleep mid-call
3 a.m. text rambles
tea made just how I like it
just — you, being you

 

IV · FORTY-SEVEN MOONS

i've watched the moon
change forty-seven times
since you left.

and it never looks quite the same alone.

V · WISHES MADE

every shooting star,
i wished the same thing.

(open one. they're all about you.)

WISH I
that your tea is hot, and someone made it the way you like.
WISH II
that you slept properly tonight, not just lay there.
WISH III
that something stupid made you laugh today.
WISH IV
that you missed me back, just a little.
WISH V
that the next time will come quietly, and soon.
WISH VI
that you know — you're the most-thought-about person in my day.

VI · A LETTER, IN THE QUIET

written slowly,
sent across stars.

✦ incoming · transmission № 0047 ✦
✦ · ✦ · ✦ — always, under the same sky.

VII · UNTIL OUR ORBITS MEET

we are pulling closer
every second.

and then — no more screens.
just us, under the same sky.

VIII · YOUR REPLY

now —
send a star back to me.

YOU ME

 

✦ · ✦ · ✦

thank you
for being still.

let's stay like this —
a little distance, a whole sky between us,
and never, ever far.

with love · always
