I Think Of You and Smile

I look into your eyes,

hoping they will say something different.

I stare at your lips,

wishing they will tell me what I want to hear.

Time stands still.

I wait patiently.

Nothing.

I’m alone.

I stare into the sky asking for a sign.

Reassurance.

Peace.

But I don’t find it.

The stars lie to me.

I’m amazed at their wonder.

Mystery.

Depth.

The constellations tell me stories.

Of past loves.

And future encounters.

Waiting for me.

I think of you and smile.
