Yet.

I am tired,

She confessed -

I'm seventeen years old

And it's much past my bedtime,

But I can't go to sleep just yet.

This sky is dark

And these stars are bright

But I can't quite reach them just yet.

What a long word -

I want to drift upwards

And pinch a spark of stardust

To bring back home to you

To me

Oh, my ever-stretching heart

Barely pushing the blood into my fingertips

To leap from the crust of this earth -
