The Dark Between the Stars

Above me, an ocean of space stretches wide. Stars rolling like waves I can't

touch as they glide. I wonder if somewhere she's looking up too.

Tracing the same constellations I do. How long till the night lets our distances through?

Till the same open sky feels close? Me and you. The sky holds

its secrets, yet still lets me see. Its beauty a promise of who

will soon be. It can't tell me it sees us, can't whisper our

names, so it shines in the silence, a guide through the same.

The space between moments is starting to blur, so I hold through the waiting.
