Where Are You Now

She sat in her chair in the desert staring up at the night sky.
Stars twinkled above and satellites zoomed by on their endless orbit of our world.

The binoculars sat in her lap forgotten as she felt sadness wash over her.
Someone else should be here with her, sitting in a chair right beside her, looking at the same sky.
They were to share adventures. They were to share this night together.
But he went silent.
He pulled away from the intensity of what had come before and left her with her own thoughts.

Their souls had connected.
He did not know what to do.
And so he left.

"Where are you now. Do you ever think of me in the quiet, in the crowd."
She whispered to the stars knowing she would never get an answer.

"I think of you...every day and I miss you."
