Verse: untitled

i
while we
were looking
up at the stars
wondering
what they are

we did not notice
that they were
looking back at us
wondering
who we are.

ii

if you
are not
a star
then why
do you
illuminate me

i am
not here
to shine
i am
only here
to dream

and i
only dream
in this
one brief
instance of
pure love

when we
are brave
and unguarded
when we
say goodnight
and embrace
the dark.
