I feel like going so far away so that I can start again with no reminders, no questions, and no memories. I want to learn how to be oblivious to the obvious again, like how it came so naturally to me when I was a little girl. If I broke my favourite crayon, I forgot about it in an instant, as soon as I was allowed to run outside and play under the cool summer sky. My friend and I would find a secret spot, big enough to fit the both of us, but small enough so that we were convinced we'd never be found. "Promise me you'll never tell anyone about this spot? This is our spot only." When the smallest promise was made, the possibility of something going wrong didn’t exist. Everything was so secure, and deep in my heart, I only dreamed for a better hideout tomorrow. As two little girls we played, every summer night never failing to creep upon us in an instant. Sometimes we'd keep on playing games with our shadows, long after the stars appeared. Over the years, I've met and come to love so many more stars. The kind of stars that watch over me, make me laugh, and who light my way. The night sky is like a blanket of millions of stars, and I was naive to believe that the blanket would always be there to protect me. Again, I learned a lesson the hard way. It hurt so much when I realized that all along, I was watching some of my stars burn out before my eyes.
