staring at the stars

i see your eyes in them

you are the stars in my eyes

my solace in the skies

such beauty that i can't even begin to describe.

in the city, i can't see you

you are no where to be found

the clouds and the lights,

they destroy my perfect sight.

i am left to my own distractions;

preoccupied with nothing

everything seems so far away

so i sit back and wait for something

the fateful day when i can be with you again.

oh, the stars have never shined so bright

as they do with you in my sight

the warm grasp of your hand,

your fingers intwined with mine

until you are gone and i am wishing that i could see the stars

just one more time.
