Starry Night

    You were beautiful.

    That look you had on your face, looking up to the sky, reflecting the entire galaxy in your eyes. Your cheeks splashed with mystical constellations, I wanted to connect them, to know about all the stories hidden behind them. I memorized all of your features. Those beautiful lips of yours, your breathtaking soft skin, my eyes have claimed them all.

    You were more magical than the sky above.

    Sitting on the roof that night, in utter silence, I could only hear my racing heart, beating against my chest, eager to let out all of what it's been concealing all those years. All the hidden feelings, thoughts and fantasies. I wanted you to know. I wanted you to see me. I wanted us to have a chance,

    The passing wind blew over us, your fair hair making the slightest movement, your lips painting the faintest smile. We inched closer, your hand reaching out to hold mine, your head resting on my shoulder. Our synchronized heartbeats creating a melody, emitting warmth against the cold night.

    Seconds felt like am eternity. A moment stretched out forever.

    Without looking at you, I opened my mouth to say the words.
    
    And you did too. Under the starry night. Beneath the luminous moon.

    You looked beautiful.

You

    I saw you when I looked at the moon.     I heard you in the silence of the walk back home.     I felt you with every step I took.    ...
