Catch A Falling Star

and put it in my pocket,
Never let it fade away.

We have been selfish with our time. We are newly mated, and we have spent a good deal of time in our own company. There are many reasons for that, but the largest is simply that we want to spend time together. We want to share the first days of our union with only ourselves, and maybe a few close friends. T'zuri came by, and she brought the most delicious food with her. It was good to visit with her, and there was laughter from all three of us. The visit was far too brief. I'll have to go by and visit her soon so she doesn't worry I fell off the world.

We watched the stars fall tonight. It was a shower of them, and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. He always shows me new things, and he and I share them together. It is part of his wonder to me. The world always seems new to him, and I love that about him. I see things differently, and its almost like I am seeing with new eyes. I do not know if they are as unclouded as the eyes of a child, but they are surely the eyes of love that I share with him. Tonight I felt as if I could catch one of those stars. I could almost hold it forever.
