It was the stars,

the simple yet

elegant

patterns that dotted the sky,

that always reminded him that he wasn't

alone

that he had her to fall back on

wherever she ended up

He smiled simply

at the thought

though his heart beat

almost nervously

He longed to run his fingers through her hair,

to feel smooth, satin skin

against his own

to see the glimmer of her eyes

nearly identical to his own

and to watch the brown hair that toppled

down almost messily

when undone

He thrilled over the small notes of touch

the way she gingerly touched him

as if he was her precious gem

as if he was the gentleman that had sweeped

her into a dance

and pulled her into a heart stopping kiss

He wondered really what kisses and touches

like those

could even mean

in a world of class,

and status

To him,

it felt like the stars

dusted his shoulders

and wiped away his tears,

it felt almost like she'd graced him

with her delicate presence

and ushered his fears away

with whispers

that felt like shouts.
