Counting Stars

Momentary companionship

Was ours, brief to share

A smile lit your face up

So I couldn't help but stare

You race away home now

Yes far from my sight

But will you have the courage

To at least say goodnight

Goodbye's are as always

All so painful to hear

Though you haven't said them

They are ringing on clear

Your leaving in hours

So what can I do

Just hold to the memory

Of star gazing with you.
