stars

laying side by side in the cold

hiding from our seekers

i see the stars if i tilt my head

if i tilt it the other way

i can see your face

it is lit up by your phone screen

and i haven’t been this happy in a while

laying side by side at the top of the stairs

counting before we seek

i feel the warmth of your body

and it makes me want to inch closer

and hug you

but i will just have to settle with my shoulder touching yours.
