I can still see the stars the same stars you see they're just as bright from here but you see them first and greet the dawn while I sleep far away from there I see the same moon you do these now-cold midnights we howl at it together wishing for closeness and warmth fire and soft kisses I like to think you hear me tucked safe into bed keening out at the dark night peppered with treetops and pinpricks of distant light it is a comfort to think you are not so far as all those bright stars and perhaps one day my yearning will be enough to bring me closer but for now we must subside on letters and dreams holding our magnetic hearts
