Stars wouldn't let her down

That night she laid there, on the wet grass counting the stars.
She counted them one by one, because she thought they'd never leave her.
Every night she'd do the same, she'd even wait for the clouds to move
to count her friends, her only friends.
To make sure they were still there for her. Not one missing. They were always there.
They'd stay for the night, but when she woke up in the morning, no one would be there.
So she'd wait for the night again, not sleeping, not dreaming.
Her stars would be enough. Every night she counted them, stars would never leave.
Stars would never let her down.

That's what she thought.
