Before It's Too Late...

"... at night you will look up at the stars. Where I live everything is so small that I cannot show you where my star is to be found. It is better, like that. My star will just be one of the stars, for you. And so you will love to watch all the stars in the heavens... they will all be your friends. And, besides, I am going to make you a present..." He laughed again.

Ah, little prince, dear little prince! I love to hear that laughter!

That is my present. Just that.

What are you trying to say?

You, you alone, will have the stars as no one else has them...

In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night... you, only you, will have stars that can laugh!"

And he laughed again. "And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me. And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure... and your friends will be properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! Then you will say to them, ' Yes, the stars always make me laugh! ' And they will think you are crazy. It will be a very shabby trick that I shall have played on you..."

And he laughed again. "It will be as if, in place of the stars, I had given you a great number of little bells that knew how to laugh..."

..."

(The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, 1943.)




I don't want to forget,
I just want to live in that moment forever,
In those feelings that ran through me
when you were by my side.
You,
My laughing star.





"... I stare up at the stars

I wonder just where you are

You feel a million miles away

(I wonder just where you are)

Was it something I said?

Or something I never did?

Or was I always in the way?

(Was it something I did?)

Could someone tell me what to say to just make you stay? ..."






"... We don't have to talk about

The ones that we can't live without

Cause everybody needs somebody

It's just an ordinary pain ..."











A life you dont live is still lost...
