Starry nights

We went outside to meet the stars
I said I wondered what they were trying to say
You said they wanted to show us they were there
To share existence
I drank some of your wine
And we stood, and stared
I looked for the three blue stars I had seen the night before
Stacked up in a row, blinking out of turn
They weren't there
There was a big bright star, or maybe it was a planet
Smiling at me
I pulled myself up into the stars
Or maybe they came down to me
We wondered at each other
I drank more of your wine
And we spun around in time
And I said I would never leave you
Not even if I died
