I remember when

We used to sit

In the darkness

And count the stars.

But then you died

Leaving me alone

In the darkness

And I stopped counting.

Then one day

My child asked me

To count the stars

Along with him.

I let go of

The bitterness

That consumed me

When you left.

I took his hand

And one by one

In the darkness

We counted the stars.

A/n: This was sort of inspired by the quote “When it is dark enough, you can see the stars”. Yup... Please R/R(:
