a star can only see the darkeness of the empty space that surrounds it
it will never know how bright it shines or how strong its gravity truly is
it desperately burns itself, trying to illuminate the empty space, to see anything
it doesn't know of its own existence or if all of its burning even amounts to anything
but there is dust within the space, made of the dead stars that once were
the dust sees the star and is enamored by the beauty of its light, like a moth to a flame
full of love (gravity), the particle of dust gathers every piece of itself it can find
compressing cosmic sand into something entirely new, a planet
it does this so the star can see how much the dust has admired its presence
the planet spent millions of years unseen until its surface could reflect starlight
the star finally sees the planet, and at first, it falls in love with its own reflecfion
but with time, it realises why the planet chose to create itself in the first place
why would another bring themselves into this black hole, where there is nothing?
its question is answered as the planet begins to revolve around the star
captured in its gravity, a dance of worship for the light it brings
the star finally understands the planet without it ever speaking a word
they dance for an eternity and their love echoes through the cosmos
visible for billions of light years, even after the star has died
as a reminder to other stars that they are loved, even if their planets are yet to exist
