Dream in the stars

When the night creeps up on us,

and we stare into an orange sunset,

I take your hand and look deep into your soul.

Your eyes show the love you cherish for me.

While the sky shifts to dark blue,

I see a galaxy in your face.

I feel like a child dreaming in the stars.

I want to protect the child within you.

I feel the fear that’s overtaken us both,

as we dream of a tomorrow together,

a tomorrow of happiness, sadness, love, and war.

We fight for each other.
