Dear R

We are stars in the same neighborhood

Two assholes of celestial proportions

And I let my words spill out like a stream with the most unpleasant babble

Because I know you shine brighter than me

And I know that silence will put galaxies between us

You’ll know you’re meant to be brilliant like the others

In reality I’m a moon in disguise

Safe and cocky and selfish

Only reflecting your light

I don’t want you to leave

Because for once you make me feel like I’m a star too

I know it’s a lie

That deep down I’m a boring rock and I feel horrible

But still you make me feel like I’m explosive like you

So I spill the sky’s secrets to you at night

In the hopes you’ll make me feel half as warm

Half as exceptional

As your Nova.

I don’t want to lose that.

I don’t want to lose you.

Sincerely,

A jester among stars
