when i was young my mother said, everyone who i have ever loved will leave the world someday and watch over me as the stars in the sky.

when i grew a little older, my mother left me. i would look up to the skies and see a star shining bright, she wasn't here but she was smiling over me.

when i was young my father said, he had lost his will to live. drowning away his days in an alcoholic daze, i knew i had lost my father that day.

when i grew a little older, my father left me. i would look up to the skies and see a star right beside my mother's, shining bright. he wasn't here but he was smiling over me.

when i was young my brother said, he had a disease which had no known cure. my eyes fill with tears at the thought of losing the one person who i had loved in this world.

"do you have to leave me?" i ask with a voice shaken by emotion, his smile was weary as he held my hand, the sun was about to set.

"you know i would've loved to stay." he whispers through a sigh as he watches the sun set over the horizon. hoseok knew he was about to go, and so did i.

my hands held onto his for dear life, as if i was the one who will die if i let go. i watched his eyes close forever, and now i was all alone.

i never looked up at the stars for they reminded me of all the people i had lost. it was tempting to steal just a little glance, just so i would know they're watching over me but ever since hoseok i just couldn't muster up the courage.

but it was as if i could hear his voice whispering in my ear to just look up this once, he told me to look at the sky tonight. and as i drew the curtains away from the window to look up at the sky.

i saw him standing right in front of me, smiling right at me. he held out his arms for me with his big smile which i had loved oh so much.

everyone left me but he was still here. for just a little longer.
