I wrote you a love song.

Do you want to hear it?

It’s snowing flurries outside.

I can see the sadness on your face.
— look up
Can I hold you?
— look up
Can I kiss you?
— look up
Look at me, love.
I don’t want —
just please look up —
See those sparkles scattered across the heavens?
Fireflies of the universe illuminate the night sky,
leading lost wanderers through the dark — home.
So that they won’t be afraid, but fear is okay.
I still get afraid, but not when I’m with you.
You see —
When I
look up
at the endless night sky, I know —
all the stars and constellations
will always bring me back to you.
