Let me be the second

Have you ever noticed
how sometimes a lone star
is brighter than the moon
on dark nights?

Burning silently
far, far away,
yet shining
through your heart?

I want to be that star
to touch you
with a twinkle
on your dark nights.

You know
how sometimes
words are warmer
than hugs,
and a kiss
more intimate
than a fuck?

I want to be
that second
to your every first,
for all firsts
fade into stories.
