Leaving Behind the Endless Fields of Corn and Soybeans

Eyes Full of Stars

He had

Eyes

That glistened like the stars

And daydreams

As wistful as my own

I thought

He was perfect

For me

And I was

Perfect for him

I was in love

With how his

Eyes shone

Sparkled

Glittered in the sun

And how he'd wink at me

From across the room

I was always a girl

That was fascinated with the stars

So when I saw how his eyes were full of little constellations

I knew that I was in love

I didn't even

Consider the possibility

Of heartbreak

He was just so perfect

Those brown curls

And star filled eyes

He played the guitar

And sang along to Hozier

His face was kissed by the sun herself

He was perfect in every way

I fell in love

With those starry eyes

And soon enough

I fell in love

With him

The boy

Who must have been from space

Because

He was just so otherworldly

But also

So down to earth

Maybe

That's why

I couldn't stay with him

I wanted

To go as high as the clouds

But his feet

Were deeply rooted to the soil

To this town

I loved the boy with stars in his eyes

He might have loved me too

But we just weren't meant to love each other

During that season of life
