We slept on the roof

Well, you slept

I gazed, enraptured

At the million tiny fingers of light

Blanketing the sky with bones

.

Your chest rose and fell

Evenly

And i was comforted by the stablility

But secretly, i wanted you awake

To whisper ancient lore in my ear

To dazzle me, with your

complete

disregard

for

beauty.

.

I named a star for you

One which i will never find again

but in that moment, i swear

we were infinite. you, asleep

Me, losing myself in ideas

promises that we'll never

hate each other.
