Stargazers

The stars are my only constant

Besides you

We lay here

In the dark

Quiet

Peaceful

I hear your heartbeat

Beneath my cheek

The steady rhythm

Reminding me that you are real

We are here

And I am happy

It smells like fresh earth

Our clothes damp where they meet the grass

Sprinkled with midnight dew

I don’t mind though

We have the stars

And feel of your favorite gray sweatshirt

My hand beneath yours

Mindlessly tracing your thumb across my skin

Neither one of us speaks

For we know

These moments

Are

Infinite

And

Fleeting
