Starry, Starry Night

A hot August night
The smell of rain in the heavy air
No breeze stirring
No moon shining
Just us, the water and the stars
Your fingers tangled in my hair

The ocean seems endless
The stars outnumber the sand
Sweat glistens
Crickets chirp
Stillness surrounds us
As we abandon thought, clasping hands

The intensity heightens
Our love supasses the known
Tide rolling in
Sun slowly rising
Another day breaking
Infinite stars fading
Our lives small
Our love forever
The stars have nothing on us
