i remember the first time i snuck out.
it was to see the stars with you.
you walked forty-five minutes to me,
and that touched my heart.
as we looked up at the sky,
and its swirling colors,
we lamented the cloudiness.
there was supposed to be over
two hundred shooting stars per hour,
but all i can recall is the
little smile gracing your lips while you told
me that story and how we
both tasted how gross monster energy was
for the first time.
i remember hugging you,
us holding one another in that suspended
period of time and you telling me,
"i can see us doing this again."
how you hoisted me over the fence
because i could not do it myself.
the sky and his stars meant very little
compared to you watching me climb
back into my bedroom through my window
to make sure i got back safe.
you had to move a chair and
lawn mower outside, and i remember
laughing when you told me to make sure
to put them back in place, because
"someone would notice the shift in energy."
if only i could tell you how beautiful
you looked that night, under the
gas station lights when we bought
blueberry donut holes...
or how beautiful you look to me all
the time.
