11 in the pm

i felt your echo in the still blue wind
a thousand breaths waiting on a ghost train
a thousand eyes for a spotlight
a thousand distances that all knew your name
every one, except the one that knew mine

and yet, all it takes is a moment
the space between two hands keeping time.

to lift your head towards the nearest star
to place your heart upon the highest mountain
to fill your eyes in the pools of the moon and say,

today was another beautiful day before i met you.
