Not all dim objects are unattractive. Not even the celestial bodies. Especially not you. You always cower from the limelight, trying to avoid any attention as possible, doing things that will make you become unnoticeable. However, in almost every little thing that you do, you are being noticed by the people around you. From a simple act of initiating small talks to almost everyone, to doing selfless acts that other people might not be aware of. Those simple things make you truly attractive.
That simple glow that you always bring with you everyday amuses me just like how Venus’ ashen light fascinates me. In the sea of bright glowing stars, my attention is darted towards the one with the faintest glow. It’s beautiful, it’s majestic, it’s mysterious, so are you. It’s natural, it’s simple, it’s everything that I like, same as how you carry yourself without even trying.
Ashen light’s cause is still a mystery up to this date, same as to how the pattern of your personality still puzzles me even after a few years. I get to see the Venus’ ashen light every single day from afar, same with me to you, but sometimes even at close proximity. However, I am challenged to unravel the mysteries even from afar. I want to see your faint glow even from afar. I will always be attracted to you, even from afar. If you are a celestial body, you will be my most favorite one even you’re being outshined by everybody. You will be my favorite planet, bearing the faintest glow that I wouldn’t exchange for anything else.
