How Long Will I Love You

I envy the stars 
for they have seen
the world in their 
never ending journey
across the galaxy.
They have seen
the world in all of
its diverse beauty 
under the night sky.
Yet, I envy them more
for they have seen you
as you take your
late night walks around the town
under their watchful eyes.
And I envy them more
for they have seen you
as you sleep peacefully 
on blankets laid across the grass,
your face turned up to
their flickering lights.
I could only hope that in time,
when these stars align;
I shall have my wish,
the only one I dare to keep.
To watch you as you sleep,
with your head on the pillow
beside mine.



How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you, and longer if I can.
