You and I,
we sit under the beautiful
midnight sky - 

under constellations
and galaxies,
under nebulae
and planets

We gaze out into
the black abyss
dotted by gaseous
spheres burning brightly

realizing how   insignificant   we are -
a speck in existence,
and how the probability of us living
is       oh so tiny
it almost does not exist;
and yet here we are.

And yet when I look at your face
I do not see wonder 
or awe
I do not even see the universe
reflecting in your eyes.

It is as though
you cannot see the stars

     (nor how they light up
your soul so beautifully)
