Starlight

We lie together under a field of black dotted with the light of countless stars
Separated by a distance measured in lifetimes and innumerable branching paths
Never able to be crossed, never able to feel each other’s embrace
Alone under the same sky
While a tear rolls from my eye to crash upon my cheek like waves upon a rocky shore
I wonder if you share the same sadness and the unbearable solitude in the depths of your heart
I wish with all I am that you do not, for I love you
I wonder across the great expanse of space and time wondering if you do as well
But I cannot hold hope for that truth
For I am alone in the dark, surrounded by my life
Dreaming under the sky of your eyes
