I sit here all alone
under a bright starry sky,
waiting for a meteor
to streak right by.
And in the twinkling darkness,
my thoughts carry me to you;
you always loved the nights
as much as I do.
I think back to the “us” times
under slivers of a sultry moon;
those moments spent together
always evaporated way too soon.
I remember sharing so much
as the hours lost their way,
never an awkward moment
as we always had so much to say.
The years have all passed by now,
but the memories are still so near;
and I think of you so often,
ever wishing you were here.
