The sky seems so much blacker than all the other nights
Bringing a deeper chill which reaches my bones
The stars are scattered
Sparkling, shining, shaping the world
I can’t see anything else but you,
Anything but you and the stars
I lay down, my head on the orange and red fallen leaves
Although they all look the same in the dark
I wonder if you care we are laying on the ground
Tiny goose bumps dance along my arms and legs
I wonder why you haven’t moved closer yet
I wonder if you don’t want to be there
Laying on the leaves, in the coolness of the dark
Looking at the stars, with me
I think I’m thinking too much, I think that...
You move closer
Deep breath, deep breath...
My hand feels so small in yours,
Small but safe, safe and warm
I could fall asleep with my head on your shoulder
We say nothing
I remember the stars, they are still sparkling back at us
I’ll always remember them now
