Blinking light across the grass,
on then off again so fast.
Fireflies enchant my sight,
staring in the lonely night.
Then my thoughts begin to fly
to your medium-blue eyes
so far away. My feeling's clear:
tonight I wish you could be here
to touch the fireflies with me
and think of places we could be
together wishing on a star
inside our gleaming, shining jar.
Flashing lights on my way home,
thinking of you all alone-
Navy skies and harvest moons,
fireflies and see-you-soon's.
The stars connect an outline of
a guy who satiates true love,
buzzing underneath the trees,
lighting ways between tall weeds.
I touched the fireflies tonight,
my blanket wrapped around me tight
instead of you so far away,
counting down until that day
when we can touch the fireflies
underneath dark star-filled skies.
Your lips are lonely- so are mine.
Meet them when our souls entwine
around a circle twinkling still;
in nature's haven, peace I feel.
I hope my dream will prove so true-
to touch the fireflies with you.
