Stars

let me forget you so that i won't know what i'm missing i want more than anything to separate myself from the world to need and know only me and my family and a handful of friends because i would be lying if i said the people i most wish loved me actually loved me the people i most wish loved me would not care if one day i stopped talking to them forever their life would move on without a ripple as if i was merely a shooting star forever falling towards the water but only ever touching its reflection and they said they liked stars but of course from a distance because close up it is but a flame too dangerous to embrace
