there were stars in the sky that night
but the galaxies in your eyes shone brighter
they sang arias and danced with the reflections of dimmed city lights darting around the inky surface
and i was lying next to you, feeling warm even in the blistering snow because
my fingers were twined in yours
and i was telling myself how lucky i was
that you were with me
because i'm a mess without you
and i can't get enough of you
i didn't want to spill my heart in "i'd die for you"s and "i can't live without you"s even though every word was true because they're like that one song on your vintage radio -
beautiful thoughts played too much become overused cliches
in every headlight i saw your smile
and even if that headlight were to come claim me i'd say thank you because that's just how much i want to see your smile meeting mine
i wanted to say so many things that night - thoughts were buzzing around my head like little fireflies and it was too much to contain -
so when i leaned over, i was wishing, praying that you felt the same
i took a leap of faith
i wordlessly, soundlessly melted into you
every inch of passion, every oppressed thought, every memory, every smile, every tear
into that one moment
that night, i tasted the ocean on your lips, and i felt like there were stars dancing around us in a halo neither of us could see -
more stars than those in your eyes, even if a little less bright.
