[bodytext] => starlight shines bright Waiting patiently Standing on the roof so calm They're bidding me goodbye Tears twinkle down my cheeks Mimicking the dancing stars Cold wind caressing around me Like a soft breezy hug Silence shattered only by my soft breaths Inching forward my feet find the edge Lifting my head to stare at the sky, laced with glitter One deep breath, then another I spread my arms like wings The street below empty With but a single lamp flickering it's hello to me I start to count, ever so softly One...Two...Thr- The sound fills the air, that familiar tune I know it to be one person and one person only How could I not look down at the small phone?
