Our Constellation


When will the stars align?
In a logical, beautiful constellation,
In a harmonious formation
That only we can recognize?

I see the stars in your eyes.
Can you see them in mine?

Sometimes I gaze into the night sky
And I see glimmering signs of you.
Do you see them too?

Maybe the stars are fooling me.
Maybe our constellation doesn't exist.
Maybe our stars will never find harmony.
But I've always hoped that they would tell me
If these aching feelings should be dismissed.
