Maybe When We're Gone Our Names Will Echo Through The Stars

Brilliant stars fly across the black blanket above us
While the green blanket bellow is trying to keep us warm
I close my eyes, listening to the acoustic song of the night
grasping your hand in mine firmly, knowing there's no place I'd rather be

I imagine the stars are singing, beaming, and bright.
in a high octave I will never reach

Then my body shifts as you pull me up, lightheaded
and dizzy I lean on you shoulder, a feel like a blind drunk
not able to open my eyes,and to dizzy to stand

but it doesn't matter, because in these arms I trust now and forever

I think he's trying to wake me I don't know
all I can hear is the cheerful lullaby of the stars echoing, releasing, resounding and rejoining again

"Shh..I'm listening to the stars" My eyes don't need to open to know he's smiling

I keep listening to authentic auditory array of music, letting it lull me to sleep.
But then I hear another sound, which only makes me sleepier

"Maybe When We're Gone Our Names Will Echo Through The Stars"

Maybe

Just Maybe
