It was there, shining bright in the vastness of the night sky, and then it seemed to fade away, just when I thought I had understood it. I thought it was just a distant star, something beautiful but out of reach. But the truth is, the constellation had always been a part of the sky. It had always been there, guiding me even when I couldn’t see it clearly. And even when it seemed to disappear from view, it left a lasting impression. It was a reminder that something extraordinary and timeless can be a part of your life, even if it’s not always visible. It changes you, and it makes you believe in the beauty of the universe and the connections that can define our lives

Her freckles reminded me of stars-like the night sky, they weren’t something you could fully comprehend. They weren’t meant to be explained; they were meant to be admired, to remind you that the world is vast and beautiful and filled with moments you can’t explain. And in the quiet, in the moments between, I realized she wasn’t just any constellation. She was my North Star, the one that pulled me forward even when I was lost, even when I didn’t know where I was going. No matter where I stood or how far I strayed, I always found myself looking back to her-to the light that only she could create in my world.

Maybe that’s what love is: seeing someone as your own constellation, a guide through the darkest of nights. She was my sky, my stars, my freckled map leading me home. It was more than just her freckles, more than the way they scattered across her skin like stars in the night sky. It was what they meant. She was “The Constellation”, a guiding light in the darkest moments, the one thing that always pulled me back when I was lost. Wherever she was, that’s where I found my direction. She moved through the world with a quiet brilliance, never demanding attention, but impossible to ignore-like stars that don’t ask to be noticed but are always there, reminding you of something bigger, something infinite.
She was my constellation.
