You laid beneath the stars with me on that fateful night 5 years ago. We didn't know each other well but that didn't matter because the silence between us was more than comfortable. It was welcoming and I knew that this night would be my happy place when the going got to be too much and I needed a reprieve. We were 18, laying on a blanket overcome with the end of our first year of college. We didn't know how to handle the amount of emotions we were feeling so we ditched our thoughts and  aimed for a higher focus. The morning would come soon enough and we would have to make decisions we weren't old enough to make. We would say goodbye to the home we had made in the school dormitories and go home to our towns that we had outgrown. We would see each other again next year sure, but then could never be now and we didn't want that time to end. We could never go back to that cool, dark night spent under neath the twinkling stars, but I still think of it from time to time.
