Every night, we sat
Beneath this tree
Chatting, giggling, admiring what we see
And then, you stopped and whisper

"Do you hear it?" you said
"The sounds of our doubts being chased away"
"Which is why I love to stare at them"
"Those pesky fireflies, you used to hate"

I was dumbfounded, confused at first
But then you moved closer, and raised your hand
You pointed at something, it sparkles here and there

"Do you see them" you said
"The stars, it talks to me"
"They tell me stories, the ones you used hate"
"Soon I'll join them, so find me there okay?"

I clenched my fist,
my eyes are blurry
Our promise was broken,
but do you need to hurry?

You smiled at me,
                                     With those puppy dog eyes
I wanted to swear,
                                     As they rob us of our time

Slowly you faded,
                             Vanishing through the mist
                                                            ­             I wanted to say something
But it was already ending

So every night, I sat
Beneath this tree
Looking upwards, with head held high
Hoping to find you
Under this lustful sky
