You Were My Star

True Story

My hands brushed your skin,

Barely yet intensely.

We laughed together

And when I was with you, you created

Starlight.

Months passed and every day

Seemed to be twice as better.

My love grew for you,

And in the darkness of my heart

You were the stars.

I hated being without your

sweet smile and calming voice.

So I called you often,

And you stayed with me

Like the stars.

But I had not realized

That the stars were not mine.

The day I confessed my love

You had said nothing.

Leaving me in the dark.

I pleaded for you to answer,

Although I knew in my heart

You had not felt the same.

This was my fault,

I was not good enough

To join the stars.

I cried out,

"You had been my star

But I suppose

I had not been yours."

Nights have never been

So cold and dark.

I thought you would

always be my light.

I thought I would

be everything to you.

I thought that maybe

I could hold the stars.

But, I suppose you can't have something

That belongs to everyone

And nothing 

At the same time.
