An After thought!

I wanted to count the stars tonight,
You wanted to drink till there was light.

My fingers too few for the night above
Your words too much for our new found love.

I thought we'd drink from the wine colored days,
And when you'd leave, I'd lock them up in a case...

Now the keys of that box trouble me.
Not knowing where to throw them away,
I came up with a brilliant plan,

I saw how the caterpillar turns
and not one butterfly ever mourns...

You made me into that brilliant view,
I turned into something more.
Not knowing when you ceased to be,
I thought it was only me...

But then when i turned around,
I knew what made that sound,
what kept me up so late,
and what made for that breath taking view!

Oh! it was you, it was you! it was you!
And now i know i could have turned,
Not into a butterfly as I thought i earned,

How quick the image brakes,
I try to put on my lovely shoes,
the stars on which reminded me of you...

I wanted to count the stars above,
I forgot the ones I had below..

How you wanted to drink all night, '
And I fussed and fussed about the light!

I wish I had a drink or two,
Then I would have seen the stars in you...

For you were my moon and my countless stars
A pity! I threw everything that was ours.

The mind never so rotten,
The heart never so raw!
How pitiable my story..

But now I hardly worry,

I fall back on that empty chair,
It seemed we had an eternity to share.

How colorful the moments of that by gone time,
Alas! My words are desperate to rhyme...
