Your eyes are like stars.  Perhaps this covers the general idea for this
particular sentence.  But, I, too, want know more how Klingons express
similes.  The translation above has left out the fact that your eyes shine.
 Although we all know that stars shine, perhaps I would feel that my eyes
were now as distant from you as the stars.

I'm still looking for how to say "like/as" something else.
