Varying Perception

 Something that I wrote a few years back (I am still working on writing new stories!) I guess you could say that one person see the glass half empty and the other half full. Tell me what you think!

   The stars smiled arrogantly back at us that night as I gazed. I thought about how many thousands of years it takes for that light to reach us and I realized just how small we really are. It was daunting to say the least. I turned to look at him. His face was constructed so perfectly it was disgusting. I looked into his blue eyes and they reflected nothing back at me but lust. There was no love between us. I hated him and yet I continued on not saying a word, I mean, what's the point? May as well not die alone. Such weak insignificant people we are. Once we die, we will leave nothing. We'll just be corpses rotting in the ground like everyone else. Live every moment like your last? Yeah right, whats the point...

   The stars were shining luminously as we layed together on the hillside. The starlight combined with the moonlight created an effulgent glow as it bounced off the lake, lighting up the whole valley. The cool summer breeze tickled our nostrils and there was not a sound but the wind rustling the grass and the trees. I'm in love with this girl, I wonder if she loves me back. She turned to look at me and I looked back. Words could not describe the moment we shared together. This was all I ever wanted, to be entwined here, with her. I'm going to spend the rest of my life with her. My mother used to say "take nothing for granted, especially those you love", I know what she means now.
