I’m ready to see the world from a different angle. I want to watch the world from above. And on nights when there’s something in the sky worth seeing we’ll drive far away where the lights can’t touch us and we’ll stare until our eyes water and the stars blur and we forget all our worries. All our sadness. Everything that every hurt anything. And all our broken ribs would mend and all the rips and tears in my mind would stitch back together. All the scars would disappear with the sun and run away with the moon. Yesterdays would latch onto the north star and fill the little dipper and overflow into heaven. And they’d kiss who I can’t and they’d hold my place in hearts I can’t hold.

I’d hold your heart forever.

I’d wish on every star that you would stay, that we would stay, that everything would stay exactly how it was. Because it’s all I’d ever need to belong, to feel safe, to feel wanted. And I’d feel forever. I’d feel forever in my fingertips that brush against the sky and my toes that stomp the earth and the chest that absorbs every little thing you’ve ever said and I’d feel it forever and I’d feel it for years and I’d feel it through the sky and through the core of the earth and I swear I can hear you from heaven and hell and everything in between.
