Starry Eyed

How amazing

The way you look when

Being yourself

Not changing for anyone except

For you.

When you look at me

With eyes that can see

Right through my flaws

And still enjoy

My company...

There's something

I want to say

Something I cannot possibly

Articulate.

We have no idea

If what

We have will

Last.

But today is good.

Yesterday was too.

When I am

With you

You make me want to

Reach for the sky.

You lift me

Though you would hardly know why.

We do not change who we are.

But the stars are there

We can reach up

Together

In our separate ways.

I will change

You will too

But only to improve

For ourselves.

As good as things get

Let us just see

Where it goes...

Hearts were made to be mended.

Nothing comes from

Leaving everything boxed.

We are not done trying.

Let us count the stars

See how many we can

Show each other.

One day at a time.

One step after another.

There is no rush.

But nothing good is without

Risk.

Taking chances

How nerve-wracking.

Be beside me.

Hold my hand.

Make me see stars.

Lift me up.

Make me better.

But keep me the same.

If something changes tomorrow...

Let us deal with it then.

I will try

And I hope you will too.
