We sneak on the rooftop

Paper cups

Warm wine

Your jacket on my shoulders

City hum far behind

You trace constellations

On my faded sleeve

Say

"Make a wish"

Then you laugh

Then you breathe

Shining blue stars

All over your face

I’m counting them slow

Like we’re freezing this place

Shining blue stars

In the dark of your eyes

If this is a moment

Let it never realize

Phone cold in your pocket

Messages you won’t read

You say you’re staying present

Like it’s something we both need

Your hand on my heartbeat

Steady

Then it runs

You say

"Time is tiny"

Under ancient suns

If the morning has to find us

Let it stumble

Let it stall

Let the world spin slightly slower

Till the sky forgets to fall
