Stars
I always told myself
when you were away
that if I looked up
at the glow-in-the-dark
stars I'd know you were
thinking of me. You told
me you missed me so much
that all you could think
of was seeing me, kissing
me, holding me until the
end of time. How can you
clam to love someone more
than anything, that you
would leave your family
and coax me to leave mine,
and just like that it's gone.
And you love her too. I still
love you, you know. As sad
as this sounds I'd do it
all over again. I let you
hurt me a thousand times
just to kiss you once more.
I don't know why. I tore
down those stars...the day
you left me. I threw all
but one away and until
yesterday thought I lost
it. But I was looking for
something else and there it
was, you know that was my
favorite star...you write
I love you on it. But when
we broke up I told myself
"Someday the stars will fall
and all reasoning will be found."
I thought I had found reasoning
until I saw you, and just like before
you stole my safety and sent butterflies
to my stomach. Now all but one of
the stars remains.
