we watched the stars


we walked in the dark to the football field
raised our eyes to the sky

she’d never seen a shooting star

i don’t know what we spoke of
but it was pleasant just to have her near me

when we touched she touched me back

we broke the rules and climbed the ladder
concession stand conquered
and laid down
side by side
and watched the stars

and while we spoke
a burst of brilliance broke across the sky
and shared its light with our hearts

she saw her star

and i found mine.
