There are no stars in this Sky

In that moment

I felt the need to hug you more,

Hold you more

I felt the need to make you smile,

Make you laugh 

When I held you, my hands quivered

When I hugged you, I trembled

In that moment

You became a shadow

 Evasive, elusive; here, yet there

Slowly slipping

I knew, knew the need

To hold you more, hug you more

Once the stars were bright 

When you held me 

 Hugged me 

When you made me smile 

 Made me laugh

I have ceased to look up

Gazing only fools me

There are no stars in this sky
