Sleepless Nights

If you do not understand, the 'light' of the stars in the poem is actually this couples (anonymous) love.

I lay awake

counting the endless stars

thinking of my love

thinking of you

Our love is much like these stars

That I count,

It shines bright

It lasts, what seems like

forever

When will it burn out?

When it does burn out, maybe 

the light will stay

just faintly there

not yet digesting that it is dead

My mind runs in circles

thinking about this light

these stars

this death

A painful, sweet death

Inevitable, even though

I wish it was not true

When will these sleepless nights

come to an end?

Thoughts of you become too 

maddening to ignore

So I lay here wondering

Do you love me

as much as I love you?

Do you love me, to the moon, and back?

To the farthest star that the eye can see?

My love, some say stars last forever,

Forever is a long time

but I wouldn't mind

spending every second of it

with you

Very touching...
I love it...
While reading realized this's what Im doing each and every night ....
Recollecting sweet memories, small talks yet valuable talks I did with her...
Unexpressed emotions thinking the fear of rejection... Her beautiful eyes that teases me every nights ...silly fights and laughter...

Love is a deadly thing, isn't it?

Yess...love. Is one thing .... It can make you blush alone and an moment later wet your eyes with deep pain .... !!
Yes it is deadly emotions bound to soul...!!
