Stars in Your Eyes

(This is still a work in progress, I may update it every so often if I find a better way to word or write certain parts, I’m open to suggestions as this is my first non-dark poem. I really wanted to get it posted so hopefully I can get some good feedback.)
(At the end, the part in quotations, whisper it out loud)

I sit and lay staring
Into the dark night sky
Its cool and damp,
The moon the only Light

The sky is clear
Just the stars in sight
Each telling a story
To captivate my life

As I sit and lay staring
Into the dark night sky
The chirp of crickets and cicadas
How they ease my frantic mind

Soon a breeze blows
So crisp, so cool

As it hits my face
My eyes, they close
I breathe deeply in
My mind, clear again

Suddenly, my thoughts drift to you
I see your eyes, clearly, as I always do
They Glimmer, they shine
They tell a life story...

A life story that is yours and is mine

Your eyes captivate me
Like the stars up above
They capture my soul
Oh, how they capture my love

So I sit and lay, waiting for you
To kiss my lips, to make my dreams come true

On this night I say a quick prayer
Then open my eyes, to the stars I stare
My heart beats faster, beating so true
With a whisper I say..."I love you"

(2013)

This is my first attempt at a not so dark poem. I thought about the woman I once loved and one night when we were laying underneath the stars, and I told her that the stars always made me think of her eyes. I also blended in other aspects of her and I, I wrote her a letter one time that told her the life I see when I stare in her eyes.
I also tried to blend in some things from nature that I really love. As an outdoorsy guy, I love the sound of crickets and cicadas, its something I remember falling asleep to as a child and also when I'm camping.
