POEM FOR MY FRIEND CRI

The sky seems so much blacker than all the other nightsBringing a deeper chill which reaches my bonesThe stars are scatteredSparkling, shining, shaping the worldI can’t see anything else but you,Anything but you and the starsI lay down, my head on the orange and red fallen leavesAlthough they all look the same in the darkI wonder if you care we are laying on the groundTiny goose bumps dance along my arms and legsI wonder why you haven’t moved closer yetI wonder if you don’t want to be thereLaying on the leaves, in the coolness of the darkLooking at the stars, with meI think I’m thinking too much, I think that...You move closerDeep breath, deep breath...My hand feels so small in yours,Small but safe, safe and warmI could fall asleep with my head on your shoulderWe say nothingI remember the stars, they are still sparkling back at usI’ll always remember them now
