I'm happy just to know you're there

On occasion, our paths cross:
  fragments of interaction
    encouragement
      kindness
        laughter

Even more infrequently, a conversation:
  immediately comfortable
    close and vulnerable
      deep support
        understanding
          more laughter

I won't tell you
  how these connections light up my heart
To say it aloud
  would bring a weight of expectation
I don't care
  if it's mutual or not

I'm happy just to know you're there

When we are nothing but starlight
I'm certain my soul will recognize yours
  winking slyly at me
    singing your heart song
      from across the sky
