Stars
This small escape from the world that somehow takes up the entire universe. Beautiful and bright they sit up in the sky and we watch until this floating rock in the great expansion of the universe spins. Yet even after that we wait for their return. So much time is spent staring at them.
I love the stars. It's more then that though, it's more like longing to see them. Though they're breath taking that's not the reason I watch them. I watch them because I get the same feeling watching the stars as I get gazing into your eyes. The same rush of excitement I get when I hear your name, the same safe feeling I get when my fingers are intertwined with yours. They're as beautiful as you though they lack the words to describe you. The only thing I can pin my finger on is the stars. I suppose in a way I could compare you to many things but nothing fits better than the stars, nothing could pin point the feeling my heart gets when I'm surrounded by you. However I'll never tell you how I truly feel because that feeling is so sensitive. It's on a pedestal, untouchable. So I sit here and watch the stars light up my night sky in hopes you have something that reminds you of me.
Tonight the stars have been more beautiful than ever. Glistening in the moonlight it's such a familiar feeling. Though you're not here with me I feel your presence. I feel your cold hands brush against my cheek. Then I'm reminded that it's only the cold midnight air. I know I should go back inside and tend to the inconvenience that is reality but the stars are so hypnotizing. My eyes won't stray from the late night sky. Dawn comes so fast, it feels as if I'm only in your presence for minutes though hours pass. If only I could stare into your eyes for eternity. Perhaps it's the same where you are. In an alternate universe maybe you're staring at the stars missing me.
I don't quite understand why the stars have stolen my attention. As much as I want to it seems whenever I confront them I just get lost in them all over again...it's been hours now. It feels like I've been watching forever now, maybe time let me enjoy your eyes for a while longer tonight.
I think about how dangerous the stars are at times. One touch and it could explode, I don't want you to be as dangerous as the stars but I fear that you are. I fear that it's time to go back inside for the night. I would say that maybe it was my last time gazing at the stars but at this point it's an addiction. The only painkiller I take are the stars, their light, your eyes.
I love the stars. I love their light. I love the midnight breeze. I love the warm suns light that feels like your embrace at the break of dawn. I love you.
