Distant Star

A twinkling dot in the dark night,

A speck to some, to others, a source of light.

Forever present in day and night,

Only those who love you feel your presence in broad daylight.

Am I to you a speck you chance upon during life's long journey,

Or am I the light that warms you on days cold and snowy?

I look upon you every day,

Hoping to be yours someday.

Do you think of me the same way?

If you do, then why did you go astray?

I asked you not for gems or riches,

But loyalty I asked and love sans glitches.

All I ask is for you to come back,

As I wait, eyes filled with sorrow and heart filled with ache.

Is my wait futile and vain,

Even if you return, you may never love me again.

As I burn like the star above,

Shining brightly calling for my love,

I hope it is you that sees my light,

If not, I will eternally hold you in my heart and will fade away in the dark night.
