Watching Stars

Tonight a man sits atop a roof watching the stars.
Something he hasn't done in a long time
The cold bites his ears and numbs his fingers
but he doesn't notice
He imagines her sitting next to him
and wonders if she's looking at the same stars
wonders what she's thinking
wonders if she will ever love him the same
He thanks God for every moment that led him to her
and every moment their eyes made contact.
But for every blessing
there is another want
so strong... it's almost a need...
and so tonight....
A man sits atop a roof watching the stars.
