At 9 in the beach house
looking at the stars
I told my cousin:
"Those shiny dots in the sky
are the ones we loved who
have already passed away"

With an adult's conviction I said:
"My grandma is one of those stars,
and she's taking care of me from there"

At that time everyone was alive
except for my grandma, 
whom I had never met in my life

Ever since that night
I haven't really looked at the sky
because I don't want to face them,
in fact I want to be with them,
shining in the night
