Lying beneath the night
On blankets pieced together
To keep us from the dampness
But not nearly enough
from the bugs
We reclined under an October sky
full of lights
And peace
full of life
With memories from a day spent laughing,
drinking wine,
exploring your town
By the warmth of a fire
We were satisfied
Safe.
~ in listening to the sound of your voice
I missed the first of the falling stars that night
Distracted by the moment of just being there with you
Wondering
how I could make the time
last longer
forever even
But You saw the falling light
And wished ~
I determined to see the next
And when it fell
I wished as well
One I will keep close to my heart
One I will whisper in your ear
On the day it comes true
The thought of it
makes me smile
The Magic in you.
