Falling

I tried to watch the sky fall
but you were sleeping...
and the clouds had rolled in
when I wasn't looking.

I stood on the terrace
disappointed and ready to give up
but I saw a streak of silver
in the corner of my eye.

I couldn't tell if I was crying
Or if a star had crossed my path
but I couldn't look away
in case I missed something...

So I just stood there
Leaning out over the railing
Neck craned at an impossible angle
Needing more.
