Stars

I can’t look into your eyes
to see the stars tonight
so I look up
to see them in the sky

How I miss you
A heart-wrenching longing
makes me grasp for the stars
my arm, my hand reaches out
for them
as if they all hold a piece of light
from you

But then love,
like a shooting star
pulls me back inward
and there I see your eyes again
and find my universe with you
