freckles

I know you remember those days

when we were filled with laughter,

when we were like blossoms charmed by hummingbirds,

always looking for a chance to dazzle and demand.

.

When the moon fell gently

into your eyes (yes, I always knew those were not tears

shining on your lashes),

I saw that the dirt on your face was just

freckles from starlight,

because you were never well acquainted with the sun.

.

I’ll have to take you to see it sometime …

.

Is that not reason enough for you to stay?

Come, let’s live for that day.
