Connect The Dots

Dusk enveloped the lands

Yet cease not, did the sun glow

Squeezing sweat glands dry somewhere

And others, mere rays through snow

As one star hides away

Millions of other came out to play

I glanced your way and smiled

Again, we raced each other to the bay

By the witness of the nebulae above

We pulled each other to the ground

Laughed until our lungs were sore

And went on till the sea was found

Out of breath, I sit under the stars

And marvel at the specks of light

I almost let loose a laugh when I remember

That you aren't here with me tonight

Where you went, I do not know

But it is awfully quiet without our fight

The grown ups say you're happier now

I dare you to come and tell me they're right

I may not be as bright as the stars

But I start to connect the dots

It doesn't matter if you're here, or light years far

I know we'll remain connected

By the constellations of our hearts
