You Are Here
I walk outside on a calm cool night that is just beginning. I gaze upward and see pinpricks of light I recognize as stars begin to form on a pale pink sky. The is at peace. Or so it seems. For, in this instance of staring upwards, I feel as though nothing matters. Even the things that do matter, are meaningless in this moment. I find myself wishing you were here. Not to talk, for words are not what I desire. I desire your presence. To make what is complete into perfection. And it seems, though you're not here, you are. I see the things that we would see. Think the thoughts that we would think.
And, in this moment, you are here. And I love it. I cradle you in my arms as we stare into the sky. In this moment, everything is right. Everything is perfect. A wave of gratitude sweeps over me as I think of the others that could be here, but aren't. You however, are. And that means much to me.

It's so poetic... I can feel it reaching straight to my heart as I read it. ^.^

Yes, I know I'm commenting a lot, but I have just one more thing that came to mind.
"Boy, your sister must be really nice to stand outside with you on such a night. My brother would be stuck in front of his computer."
