These nights get colder by the minute. I sit still by the window like I always do. The darkness feels like home but these little lights won’t hurt too much.
I’m listening to “Mr. Blue” on repeat. I’m swayed away by the lyrics. Somehow this feels so refreshing. I look past the lights and I realize the sky’s full of stars tonight.
There’s a gentle breeze outside. I can almost feel it touch my face. I close my eyes and somehow I can smell the rain in the air. I pray that the clouds stay away. Just this night and I won’t ask for much anyways.
I bring my phone out. I wanna tell you all about tonight. I think of calling but instead I text you “hi”.
Stardust’s sprinkled all over the night sky. I hope you’re watching this too.
The breeze gets stronger than before. Fairy lights now remind me of fireflies. You love them both, don’t you?
you call me back instead.
