countdown

eleven

it was night time when he picked me up from my house, both of us wearing comfortable clothing.

i expected us to eat at the town diner. instead we got take out.

he drove for a while, the car ride filled with conversation. the drive was slower than usual, due to the slight fog.

after five minutes, we had arrived at our destination.

it was a field, and although the flowers had died and were covered in frost, i found the view amazing.

we decided to lay down, and stare at the sky. the stars were out that night, looking back at us. i smile slightly, and hold myself due to the cold weather.

he wraps his arms around me. and slowly, as we have small talk and look at the constellations, i drift off into slumber.

and i find myself wishing for one more night where i lay down, looking at the stars, and slowly shutting my heavy eyelids, feeling nothing but peace.
