“Seridipetous”,
She said the word too.
(And I loved her for it,
Because then I was not alone in my
Fantasy of beautiful moments).

“You’ll be lucky”,
He said as he walked away.
(And my heart believed him for it,
Because then I knew that I
I would see the magic of the stars).

“I love you”,
She said as I walked away.
(And I felt peace and confidence
Because this was the next right step
And
the
next,
And
the
next).

“Everything happens for a reason”,
She said under the stars and the moon.
(And I wondered if this was really true;
But it was for at least the walk along the river
And for the songs we would sing
Under the universe).

“I have been more myself with you all, than with those I have known for years”,
She said before we all slipped to dreamland.
(And I wished that the golden friendship
Would last, perhaps longer than the evening).
