she had them all

from new moon

to full

then back to new

all down her spine.

"did this one hurt?" i had asked.

because it had gone down one of the most sensitive bones on her back.

"yes, but you can never let pain hold you back."

i understood.

she loved the stars, and she loved to stay up late

staring at them with such adoration

like how i stared at her.

everything was coming together in my head,

i just had to figure it out.

thankfully,

she was right by my side

to help.
