stars will rise again

"Do you think she's wonderful?"
No,
Because so many girls are wonderful
I imagine hundreds of young men
have called their loves wonderful today
and it's only noon.
You couldn't possibly be something
that hundreds of others are.
You're much to uniquely splendid.
I'm afriad to close my eyes
and sleep at night
because I'm afraid of missing out
on something of yours,
a quiet sigh, or a deep breath,
something so beautiful
no single word could describe it
and no novel could recount it.
