She has this talent, you see.
This wonderful talent to make you feel special.
When she looks at you,
pays you attention,
manages to Skype with you despite her busy schedule ...
you feel like the center of a universe.
Her universe.
And she is the star in it,
that beautiful star that shines brighter than any other.
How could you not stare?
How could you not fall in love with someone so precious, who obviously cares so much for you?
It was inevitable, and every time you meet,
you fall a little further
until her light is all that can make you feel pretty, and worthy, and whole ...
because when she doesn't look at you,
doesn't take the time to text you,
doesn't focus that lovely talent on you ...
you are broken.
You are the space between the stars, forever craving the splendor of it, but never reflecting her light,
never shining.
She has a talent, you see,
and once you get a taste of it,
you are lost without it.
