We stopped in the cool grass to rest and talk
We felt the dew on our toes
We felt the breeze in our hair
We felt the night humming to us
We stopped talking and the night fell over us
We turned our faces to the sky
And were blessed to see the stars
Too bright to be real
Too close to be fake
Too near not to be touched
They called to us in their high clear voices
They told us to stay
They hold us with their words
We fell into the sky
We danced with the constellations
They were new, not in the space books
They were people and places and faces
They sang to us a beautiful and sad song
Everywhere we turn and looked
They were with us
Nothing we did went unseen by them
They were there only for tonight
They were love
They were fear
They were life
They were death
We laughed and cried at the beauty of these new stars
We had never seen these before
The ones in the sky every night before were not the same
We felt drunk and high
Off what? We did not know
They told us to remember
They told us to sleep
They told us to go home and remember what we've seen
We'll never see theses stars again
But we will never forget
