It's only words

Sometime in the middle of the night last night , 3 AM to be exact , I awoke to the darkness and the echoes of  "what might have been"  bouncing off the walls of my room.

I used to be afraid of the dark till you showed me the shooting stars in the night sky outside my window , once upon a time .

I remembered how I used to awaken in the middle of the night,  and watch those stars which inspired me to write words.

Words that I could give to you in the morning when the stars had gone back to sleep for the day.

Sometime in the middle of the night last night , 3 AM to be exact ,  I arose from my bed and looked at the stars outside my window, and they inspired me to write words for you .

This morning I read what I had written, then lit a match and set fire to those words .

I watched as my words curled up and died ~
