i hope and pray
that you are secretly that star i wish on-
the one that shines brighter than the rest,
and is thousands of miles above my head each night.
and i wish that
you are hoping and praying
for someone like me
to be that little speck
far below the bright lights of the city
that you long to fall asleep with each night.
though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light
i have loved the stars too fondly, to be fearful of the night.
