~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In the late hours of the nights, we created our own galaxy. Every fear, every hope, every desire we shared became stars in our sky. It didn’t take us long to light up the sky with our own constellations.

A superb poem, dear Sara, about the power of connection and creativity in forming a unique and personal universe. It revolves around the creation of a shared world between two individuals through their fears, hopes, and desires. You use simple and evocative language to convey the intimacy and imagination of the shared experience that emphasizes the completeness of their shared universe.
