Stardust

There are moments when

I can feel you thinking of me

With a familiar flutter in my chest

In the secret cave that the Girl with All the Answers

Tried to hide away.

I reign in the sunlight

In the dusky late afternoon

Like when we first met

In the closest moment

Before you began to flee.

And sometimes the night falls apart so swiftly

At the thought of you

So far from here

That I feel the tingle in my fingers

Trying to catch something

They never quite held in the first place.
