there were constellations in her eyes

and they gleamed to my surprise

they have been dark for so long,

I often wondered what went wrong.

I asked her what changed

for she smiled and replied

I finally feel alive.

I loved this!!!! I loved the storyline of a girl who finally found happiness after so long. It’s also interesting how this is the point of view of someone who knew her before her happiness!
