The Sun Is Also a Star

by Nicola Yoon

EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.

koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.

love is just chemicals and coincidence.

Maybe part of falling in love with someone else is also falling in love with yourself.

“Sure, but why not more poems about the sun? The sun is also a star, and it’s our most important one. That alone should be worth a poem or two.”
