The Night the Stars Fell
We meet
Having been strangers
Now old friends
Familiar

We walk
Never touching
Or talking
So close
Understanding completely

We lay down
Water at our feet
Icy wind across us
Stars above us
Cold

You are the one that is with me
As the stars start to fall
Thousands of wishes
Sent to the heavens
Fall back to us
Blessed

We walk
Not knowing when we will meet again
Joking and Teasing
Turning in Circles

You chase
I run
Though never far away

Your arms around me
Reaching to grasp
What I hold away

The Laughter
Now a memory
Plays in my mind
Whirling
Joyful
I smile at it

Standing in the light
Quiet once more
Our eyes saying so much

We look away
Afraid to know
To really see the other
What they need
What they want

We embrace
Soft words are spoken
Meanings are hidden
Kept just out of reach

And you were the one that was there
The night the stars fell
Home
