We asked questions

Of life and love

Held hands for the first

And last moments

Danced in tears and laughter

Sorrow and joy

Under the stars

We made wishes

To loose some

Held our breathes

To live on.

In your eyes

Tears lingered

Like pearls of pain and regret

In my eyes

Tears sat

Like pearls of sorrow

As I watched the reflection of your tears.

You and me cried

You and me laughed

Under the stars 

And made one wish

Of you and me.
