You Don'T Have To Be Awake To Feel the Night Change
We meet, we talk, but I don’t know you.
Your eyes a flash of blue, bits of sky. I don’t
know how it came to be yours, the sky. Do you have
magic, that you command the very elements to
your being? I would like to be
yours as well. In the night’s deep quiet we will lie awake
and you will rename the stars, build new constellations to
fill me with awe and reverence. How safe I will feel
in your arms, by your side, whenever you say my name. The
monsters will cower, dazzled by your sky eyes shining so bright in the night.
As our seasons turn, will your skies change?
