Up At The Western Sky

by Ms Stacy   Nov 2, 2005


For years now I always search the skies to the east by day and towards the west at night.
As I drove home tonight I took a right turn, to the place I spent with many nights before, where I gave my heart to you fully and my soul search yours.
Where I heard I love you from a guy for the first time, where I fell in love fully and fought to keep you, our place our world where we only existed, a field next to a cold cotton gin thats been abandoned because it has many years behind it. It was a object that marked my childhood for the last 11 years and that served as a safe place and a get away with the man I love.
I parked my truck turned the engine off, no light turned around me with the new moon. I looked at the stars to many to count, and felt my heart throb as I longed for your touch.
I didn't cry, I'm stronger then that, but I just stared at my cell phone, the background a sweet picture of us.
I drove home silently not a word heard, this old country road silent only my engine heard among its cotton fields.
I pulled into a empty home, parked in the yard, my dog there for me as he always has.
I walked to the side of my house the Early November breeze feeling good, and watched the western sky, like I always do..
I stood there a woman very much in love and realized that you stood under a much alike darkened sky staring eastward towards home and your love, In these stars I see your eyes and you see mine, you kiss my lips with the breeze that blows from your lips to mine.
8,000 miles apart but you can still make my heart throb
"If this isn't love, then I don't know what is" I can hear myself say out loud with only the Western Sky to hear me wish with every fallen star that you come home safely to me.
