In the dark, I admire you as you gaze at the stars. The way your lips curl when I point out another star constellation.

It was peaceful laying there and staring up at the sky with only a few grass blades between us as I ignore the night chill soaking in my bones.

Listening to you talk, I got lost in your words and my body hummed with every accidental touch.

I never knew how simple it could all be, to feel so comfortable in your presence. Or how being myself felt like the only option, not trying to disguise the unruly parts of me.

You never looked at me like I needed to be or looked like someone else. You looked at me as if there is a twinkling gem. Like I was one of your stars.
