Stars
 With
 You

My
 heart
 beats
 once
 per
 second

and
 every
 time
 it
 thinks
 of
 you.

Holding
 your
 hand
 staring
 at
 the
 night

sky
 and
 feeling
 your
 breath
 on
 my
 neck.

How
 I
 want
 to
 lock
 eyes

and
 lips
 while
 we

entangle
 our
 fingers.

You
 gingerly

whisper
 three
 words

that
 mean
 the
 world
 to
 me.
