“The Distance Between Stars”
A reflection on distance, memory, and the quiet ways we stay connected across time and space.
There’s a quiet that hums between stars—
a space where everything we’ve ever said still lives.
Love drifts there, weightless and awake.
folding itself into the dark like breath.
I think of you in that stillness.
How absence can shine if you listen long enough.
The universe keeps its secrets in whispers.
Each one shaped like a heartbeat,
Each one naming what we lost.
Maybe distance isn’t emptiness—
maybe it’s how the light learns to travel,
How we remember without returning.
How we stay connected.
By the smallest spark.
Between forgetting and forgetting.
And forever.
