And the stars-
they kissed you gently as you cast your eyes heavenwards
in hope of a bright future or a better tomorrow.
The moon smiled benignly and
nodded knowingly
as she kept all the secrets in the expanse of the universe to herself.
And your eyes-
they show me the stories
your mouth failed to speak into words.
No matter how much you try
you just can't seem to connect the complex
trains of thought to your voice.
And even though you're far away
and we're separated by the
never ending blue wrinkles of the ocean and
grass that's always greener on the other side and
every other thing in between-
I love you.
I still do.
