Stargazing

We lay there, watching the clouds chase each other through the sky. And as the hours pass, darkness descends across the picturesque scene like a black curtain. And tiny diamonds sprout out of nowhere, one by one.

A shooting star makes an appearance, as a stream of light cascades across the blackness. One of the most beautiful things you will ever see. But only a second's worth of beauty, as the bright light in the sky quickly dissapears as if a flame from a candle is being blown out. With just one ounce of breath.

And it's gone.

Whispers

Silence and darkness sweep through the bedroom. The crescent moon and stars act as tiny bulbs in the navy sky as the light escapes through the gap in the curtains. I can see the outline of his face, gazing at my own. His lips convert into a smile as I trace them with my finger tip. Just like magic. And I kiss him. His soft lips pressed against mine. Then he holds me against him, his warmth transferring over to my cold body. And we lay there.

Thinking.

Whispering.

And then we fall asleep in each others arms. Being dragged away from perfect reality to be absorbed into our dreams.
