stories I'll never write

ten.

I wanted to tell you three words that night we sat under the stars.
As I held your hand and drew shapes into your palms
As I memorized the outline of your body and every feature of your face.
As I watched your eyes scan across the night sky taking in every star and every constellation.
It clicked in my mind that I did love you.
That night I didn't do much star gazing because you were suddenly my whole world.
It was you that captured my thoughts and didn't let go not the stars.
I would have told you that night those three little words.
Hell I would have screamed from the rooftops that I loved you.
But then you turned your head to me and said those devastating words.
You stopped my whole body, stopped my very heart from beating.
I couldn't tell you I loved you then, when I knew you were on the complete opposite end.
I loved you that night under the stars,
but that will stay there and it will never go beyond that spot because you could never love me back.
