Through the smokescreen of the crowd...

A star falls from the sky and sets the sky ablaze until it finally lands in your hands. Then it seeps through your veins and swims inside your blood and becomes every part of you. It sways with the rhythm of your heart and it whispers secrets long thought forgotten. Then comes a day, when your body can no longer sustain the weight of the star, and you are forced to put it back into the sky. And it's the most painful thing you'll ever have to do and that you've ever done, because something that was so inherently part of you, is now suddenly gone. But what you mustn't forget is that something that was truly yours can never be taken away. Whether it’s up in the sky or here in your hands, you will always feel its impact. Then perhaps one day day, it'll fall from the sky and hit you in the head real hard and that time, you won't have to put it back in the sky again. You'll be strong enough to keep it, nurture it, and never let it go.
