Lacking You

Lying in the cool grass,
Looking up,
Admiring the twinkling lanterns
Hung randomly in the black sky.
Are you looking at the same sky?
And focusing on the same star?
And thinking about me?
My head shakes vigorously
In an attempt to get you out,
But it does no good.
A star shoots across the sky,
Momentarily disturbing the
Tranquility.
I close my eyes,
Deep breath in,
And wish for you.
It's all I have,
Wishes that dont come true,
And tears.
