You

I can't tell you which star is which.

Only because I don't know.

I can tell you how it feels. To touch one.

It's soft and warm. Think early spring.

That tingling feeling. Couple that with the good kind of nervous.

Never will my heart beat so fast whilst I remain perfectly at ease.

I don't care what we talk about. Just so long as we keep talking.

The mythology behind the blood orchids or Marie Curie.

If I fall asleep, I'll just pick up where we left off in my dreams.

I don't know where that river goes.

I know I can relate to it.

In so as it passes you by in this moment in time, as do I.

Though our time seems of length. Tis only a breath.

I am not yours and you are not mine.

Just as the moon doesn't belong to the wolf.

Nor does the wolf belong to the moon.

In knowing this. I will trade a thousand breaths to one.

If only that one could be spent with you.
