A Wish Upon The Stars.

I was about to hang up the phone. He softly said - This is crazy. I have never talked to any girl for 2 hours on the phone! I chuckled.


We went to see his stars that night. Far from the city. I was feeling down and out for some reason. So a surprise plan was made in a jiffy. We went out of the city. To see the clear night sky.
We stopped at one spot. And stood there, lost.
I kept looking up rotating on my own position looking up intently. My head felt dizzy with all the going around. He stood quietly at a distance looking at them blinking.
I felt better.
He said in a low tone- I come here alone when everything feels like it will fall apart. These stars give me my solace. I didn't bring anyone here before.I thought you should see them too..

My heart felt a strange peace
Was is it stars. Was it the words?
But there was my peace for sure..

12 cared to blot it off.:
