It’s weird to talk so much to someone like that.

But honestly, I don’t think I’d mind a friendship with them (actually, I’ve been fairly curious about them for a while now). This might be my opportunity to make a new friend, maybe.

IT’S COMPLETELY TRUE AND COMPLETELY AWESOME.  
Light has a speed limit - it travels at a constant speed of 299,792,458 metres per second, so it takes years for the light produced by distant astronomical objects to reach Earth. When we look up and see stars and galaxies, we’re really seeing them as they were some time ago - and how long ago depends on how far away the object is. For example, it takes sunlight eight minutes to reach earth, so if the sun just suddenly disappeared (highly unlikely by the way), it would take us eight minutes to realise!  
Some galaxies are so far away that we actually see them as they were billions of years ago - when the universe was still young. Theoretically, we can see all the stages of the universe’s development just by looking up.

I’ve been fascinated by this fact for years. How, by looking up into the night sky, we’re travelling back in time. Millions and billions of years.

Can’t Sleep.
Do you know those nights where you just can’t sleep? It’s as if the moment you just want to close your eyes is the time where your mind feels like it’s the best opportunity to begin racing with thoughts, memories, and ideas. As you try searching for an off switch, you realize that there may not even be one and you will just have to deal with another restless night. And for few hours, you become a philosopher as you questioning the meaning of life and why the world is the way it is. You become a storyteller as you come up with creative scenarios in your head that may never occur. You become a historian as you able to remember your past while missing or regretting it. In this insomniac time, you lie wide awake trying to figure out your life when all you want to do is to stop thinking. 
And the weirdest thing is how alone we feel during these moments. How it feels like we’re the only one awake as people a dreaming in another realm. But truth is, those nights that we can’t sleep, there is someone else out there too. There is someone driving the empty roads hoping that it will bring some clarity. There is someone who is on the internet, listening to music, or watching TV as they are hoping it will take their minds of the things they don’t want to think about. And there is someone like you, just laying in bed thinking. Letting their mind race with their deepest thoughts. At the darkness of night, thousands of souls are awake with you…not being able to sleep.

Sunrise

There’s nothing quite like the morning sunrise. I’d like to say that in this moment, there was no better than the one I was witnessing now. I was under a serene spell. It was so powerful that not even the chirping birds could snap me out of this trance.  Sunlight danced along the dew of the grass below us. Glimmers came and went like little fairies of light. The best thing of all was being wrapped up in the massive knit blanket with the most beautiful human in the world.

Staying up all night to have a morning picnic on the roof was the best idea they could have ever had. It was difficult to be up for so long without sleep, but so very worth it. My drowsiness was forgotten as we kissed in the golden light. Somehow, the kisses seemed even sweeter. All night, we had not kiss because our competition. To hold off until sunrise was so hard, especially when we were basking in our favorite music and talking about everything and nothing.

I wanted the moment to last forever. There could be nothing to compare to this. Well, no…we did have some incredible moments. I suppose what I mean is that no sunrise with any other person would be able to compare to this one. After all, how could I love someone as much as I lived them? They did make a mean egg, bacon, and cheese sandwich. That wasn’t the only food around, though. Random bags of junk food and soda were all around us. I doubt without all that shit that we would have been able to stay awake. Well, that, and cigarettes.

“Hey,” I murmured. Suddenly, I felt the need to see if they were in a spell as well. “…I love you.” The smile that I was given was just too gorgeous. I had to return it, including some teeth (it should be said that I never smile with my teeth because I dislike them; however, my smiles for them were always an exception). Their lips touched against my cheek, and for that millisecond, I felt like I had become even more refreshed than I already was.

“Love you too,” they whispered right back. After a moment of intense staring, we broke into giggles. Our mirth in that moment was too much, and was released in the form of laughter. If I could, I would want to take a picture of us together on that roof. Of course, I’m satisfied with the little movie in my head, but the mind makes too much up. I would rather have proof of this moment. Proof of how perfect and wonderful it was. Proof of how perfect my life was that night. Proof of how perfect they were for me.

I wanted to treasure it forever.
