she used to tell me stories of how
the stars whispered their secrets to her and how lonely they were, but how happy

she always used to ask me if i thought anyone else could hear them
or if i thought everyone else was just too tied up in themselves to notice

she was too perceptive for her age
but that was why i loved her

the whispers she told me once, hushed tones herself
they all stopped when she found me
because, she explained with her hands and the lights of her eyes
i was the only one, the only girl
who knew her heart before she even said anything, had the key before she'd invented the lock

she told me that i must be the other one who whispered to the stars
because someone else had to, so that she wasn't alone

she told me i was the one who taught her about the man on the moon
[and that was why
with her last effort
she waved at him]
now she's gone and she aint coming back
but i have to
i have promises to keep

That was magical... and sad. And incredible. And wonderful.... and I'm starting to run out of adjectives here, but that was really, really good.

"she was too perceptive for her age

Brilliant line!
