I

that night you died

i went outside to star-gaze

and i had never seen so many stars

so i talked to the stars and i named the brightest star after you

because i saw similarities between you and that star

you both lit up my night

you both made me smile

& you both twinkled so beautifully,

and when i reached out to grab it

it was too far away for me to touch

so now i stay up at night to see the stars

because that's the only way i can get to you

and while i sit in my room and stare at the day sky through my window

all i can think of is waiting for night to return so i can talk to you again
