and she spins stars into the sky.

Mood:happy

october wind

leaves in my hair

the little girl spins and spins and

s p i n s 
weaving stars in the sky

until the pile of crinkly autumn leaves

fall at her feet.

fairy dust and glitter

in her eyes

the boy walks over, 

 their eyes light up.

i can almost hear their heartbeat

bu-thump bu-thump bu-thump

hugs. laughter. kisses.

the world is full of beauty.

how simple love is. how beautiful. how kind.

but my arms are the only ones that will hug me.

so i wrap my coat tighter around my body

and walk away quietly,

undetected,

the sound of laughter drowning in my mind.

what about me

what about me
