It was in October when I fell asleep next to you beneath a countless assembly of resplendent dots.  The night air was sweet, free.  The moonlight delicate.  A soft, pale halo fell upon our small stake of land - a flattened bed of unevenly tall, dried weeds.  With slumbering trees lining the hills surrounding us, a memory was made in the fleeting moment.  It was my birthday.  I was with you, and I was utmost content.  Lying parallel to the great night sky, zipped in your sleeping bag, I found myself staring at the first words you ever wrote me - a kind echo of my own humble penning: Bright is the company of a thousand stars.
