I want to grow old,
If not just so that
I can have kindness in my eyes
And wrinkles
From all the years
I have defied the odds

the number is saved in my phone,
staring up at me
with no calls
or texts
to its name
because really,
i just don't consider myself
worthy enough
to be called a crisis

She was the moon
A force to be reckoned with
Quiet,
But waiting
For her beauty to be realized
Watching,
From afar
She was the moon
And I was a star
Simply along for the ride

Like most others
Began with love

I would like to think
That stars are people
Long lost
Long forgotten
But still gazing down
Watching over us
Maybe someday
I will find out

that eventually i will be yours
