Starlit Skies and Skyscrapers

A bottle of wine, glasses poured to the brim,
There sat you and I, the lights were all dim.
A pair of hearts speaking louder than it should,
All was still, we didn't escape it even if we could.

It flowed like silk, our thoughts we shared.
Eager to know more, we asked, we dared.
The moon shone its light on who was once a stranger,
The stars danced purposely as if to show off their glimmer.

We spoke of philosophies, of heartbreaks and of dreams,
Time was still, everything else stood on the seams.
It was enough for us to realize how grateful we were;
Under the starlit skies, among skyscrapers, nothing is forever. 

And if all we were ever meant to have was this one moment,
My heart will hold what we shared in a fragment. 
In a world of luck, chance, mystery and wonder;
The stars aligned to bring our two old souls together.
