As I sit at home, you're on my mind again.
It's Saturday night and I find myself staring up at the starry sky.
They twinkle so brightly tonight.
I wonder if you're staring at the same sky.
Just the thought of it brings a smile to my lips.
I leave the window and go to the back door.
I sit on the back steps and sigh as I think of you.
The chilly night air tickles my arms.
If you could be here now...
I'd love to be wrapped in your arms.
Safe and warm.
Feeling secure and loved.
Staring at the same starry sky together would feel like Heaven.
I can imagine the warmth of your breath on my neck.
I pull my sweater close, pretending you're right beside me.
And I could swear for a moment, I heard you whisper my name.
My day dream is interrupted by the call of my mother.
I stand up and brush myself off.
"Coming!" I call as I turn back to the door.
I stop for a moment and look up at the stars once more.
One day, I know you'll be out here with me.
We'll be staring up at the same stars.
Together.
Laughing and smiling.
I whisper "I love you" into the night.
And for a moment, I can hear you whisper it back.
I smile and close the door.
"Goodnight, my love."
