Under Open Skies

We threw down a blanket on the cold ground,

Let the night roll in without a sound.

Breathing in the quiet like a secret we both knew,

Watching constellations move the way the oceans do.

The world felt smaller, but the sky felt wide—

You said you never saw the stars this bright.

And for a moment, the dark didn’t feel so dark,

Every burning light felt like a spark.

So we slept under the night sky,

Hearts beating in time with the satellites.

Counting every shooting star

Like it could change who we are.

Under open skies,

We felt infinite for a while.

Cold air brushing over our tangled hair,

Dreams drifting upward like we left them in the air.

You traced a line between Orion and the moon,

Said, “I hope we get to stay like this soon.”

The world kept turning, but we stayed still—

Lost in the stars on a quiet hill.

And for a moment, the earth didn’t feel so heavy,

Every breath we took felt steady.

So we slept under the night sky,

Hearts beating in time with the satellites.

Counting every shooting star

Like it could change who we are.

Under open skies,

We felt infinite for a while.

Maybe the stars don’t notice us—

Just tiny sparks below.

But lying there beside you,

I swear they seemed to glow.

’Cause we slept under the night sky,

Wrapped in shadows, wrapped in light.

Every dream we whispered low

Felt like something we could hold.

Under open skies,

We were infinite for a while.
