we watched for the Perseids
by a fire on the lawn
that was before i knew
all those late night talks
would turn into something that
i cannot turn off
we watched for the Perseids
while Denver sang about roads
that was before i felt it
every star falling to the ground
burning through our skin
we couldn’t stop it
this is our fate
shooting through the skies
close, but never together
disintentegrating every time
