Yester-night the stars smiled upon us.
Yester-night I was the star.
Yester-night our lips touched.
Inhale.
Just for show, you say.
But the red in your cheeks is real.
The confort is real.
The easiness with which your body moves is real.
The smile, the laugh, the love.
Real, real, real.
Yester-night you came.
Yester-night you gave me the hug I've been waiting for since Spring.
Yester-night it was Fall and you were here.
Your hair. Your scent. Your breath.
Exhale.
There it goes, my heart.
Boom, boom, boom.
Keep watching me put on a show.
Keep putting on yours.
Yester-night will become the morrow
and you will miss me.
