every so often
on the rare occasion I get the chance
to step foot outside at night,
without a watchful eye,
I look up at the stars
in the cool, peaceful night
& oh, how I love the stars.
how I love the stars in the sky
& how I love the sky
& how I wish you were here with me
how I wish I were holding you tight
as we lie in the grass
looking up at the infinite cosmos
& I think how lucky I am
out of all the universes out there
out of all the star systems
& planets
& continents & countries & states & towns
I ended up winning the lottery
with a one in a million chance
to meet someone like you.
Alas, I sit alone indoors after dark.
staring at the blackened ceiling
wishing it were a blackened sky
an inky abyss above
speckled with white stars
i could stare at it forever
as long as you are beside me.
An eternity with you
sounds quite nice.
& how beautiful it would be
to spend forever with you.
