Falling in Love with a Star

There are so many stars in the sky tonight,
They flicker and shine,
Not looking down on me,
But watching me,
As I stare at them,
In a completely awestruck gaze,
I ask myself if each one has a name,
I wonder which one smiles,
And which one frowns,
Which one's pretty,
Which two are friends,
Do stars live peaceful lives?
I mean,
They are born, like you and I were one day,
And will depart, too.
Do the stars cry when one falls to earth?
Do they weep when love is lost?
Maybe they're strong,
Maybe they argue.
They might comfort one another,
In the galaxy so vast and so wide,
These stars are all the same,
Lonely and unnoticed,
They shine bright,
And on nights like tonight,
They bring smiles,
To faces like mine,
I hadn't looked up at my star in so long,
I had forgotten and moved on.
Maybe tonight I see them all differently.
Tonight the stars are as close as a distant friend,
And I wait,
Silently eloped,
My heart falling into conversation with one of the many,
Beautiful beacons,
I watch them sing and dance as though waltzing in joy,
And when I look again,
They are just stars in the sky.
So far away,
Just a tinge of light.
I walk away because I shall not dream.
I must awake.
Before my soul, my love is what that star forever takes.


I'm all dreamy eyed again. And I honestly shouldn't be. Because things fall and destiny plays her game. I feel something, and then it runs off. I can't hold it for long. And at night, when all is said and done, I just cower... and cry. I can't take it anymore.
