I run from you because I lack self control
I run from you because if I stop and stare I
might get lost and forget what I am chasing.
I run from you not because I'm afraid to love or to be loved,
I run because....
What's love got to do with this.
I shouldn't feel love.
So if I feel it,
I must run.
Because love is the greatest thing weve ever
made up.

This remoteness limits our ability to study interstellar objects up close, but occasionally, the universe sends visitors our way.
