in the dark, the fields stretch on forever
and the sky is too close too faraway all at once
the moon gives me enough pale light to see your face
and i watch you as you pick out individual stars
your eyes wide and your lips slightly parted
your body shaking slightly in the cold of the night
i stand beside you and i make a harsh promise
to make every moment with you as beautiful as this one
to never see you cry –
if we stand here ’til sunrise,
i know i’ll still love you just as much
when the soft pinks and violent reds change your features
still beautiful, effortless, defying description
you are lovely, lovely, lovely
and i will whisper it to you as you sleep
for as long as it takes for you to believe it
