Happiness under the dark sky
By: CloudNsword
Childhood memories
Are so clear in my head.
I can see us together
On a well under the dark sky
Filled with little sparkling stars.
Forming galaxy of their own.
We talked on and on
About our dreams and goals.
The conversations seemed to go on
Forever and ever.
When you said you wanted to be a soldier,
Not any kind of soldier,
But first class,
I was afraid.
Very afraid.
Why?
Because I knew I might not see you.
But you seemed so happy just talking about it.
There was a large smile
From ear to ear on your face.
You seemed so enthusiastic.
Maybe I should have stopped you.
Maybe I should have warned you.
But about what?
That it was dangerous?
That it wasn't worth it?
That I wanted you to stay with me?
No. I couldn't and didn't do that.
Regret?
Maybe.
Sad?
No.
I'm just glad that you,
Who I longed to see,
Came back.
At least now I know
You are safe.
No regrets.
No sadness.
Just happiness and joy
That filled my body
As they did
When we were sitting
On the well,
Under the dark sky,
Filled up with little sparkling stars,
Forming a galaxy of their own.
