Watched and waited,
your body
ebbing and flowing.
An ocean
within me.

Tall,
and
sprouting wings.
When I closed my eyes,
I flew away.

Freckles,
I'm a sucker
connecting dots,
making constellations
out of you insecurity.

I told you,
you were a galaxy.

When you broke my heart,
left the pieces,
shattered
in a photo frame,
I picked up
the star dust
and blew it all away.

and when I shut my eyes,
I realized
I could still fly
