Slipping away

We were slipping away from the starlight.
Searching for somewhere to sleep.
The two of us surveying the scene.
Two starseeds slumped in the silence.
 
I sneaked a quick peek in the darkness,
her soul was aglow.
I said "is anyone exhausted?
Shouldn't we rest for a while?"
So we settled into the sunlight.
Her eyes, a supernova in space.
 
I said "would you care to comfort me?"
She whispered something angelic under her breath.
And the stars stood still
surrounding us all.
I thought to myself,
We all feel so small.
I lay down beside her with tears flowing out.
