Proximity (Solar systems)
Our sun is not the biggest or the brightest star
But it is the one closest to us,
It is our sun.
You only stayed around when I was in the goldilocks zone
Close enough that we didn’t grow cold
Others we may not revolve around but provide a constant,
Feeding warmth,
Day in, day out
The concept of soulmates discounts everyone who gives warmth in passing
Valuing a second half,
One perfect person who may or may not exist
The biggest and brightest star
Supporting alien life we haven’t yet found
But signal out for every night
Every pinprick of light can be wished on
Used to navigate
Make up constellations that no star alone could form
