Starlight....Star bright

I caught a falling star

But I didn't know it's worth,

Things found in the heavens 

Are worth more than those on earth.

I tried to hold it tightly

With all abounding love,

I knew that what I had was great

For it came from up above.

It brought me joy, I had no doubt

I'd always hold it near,

To find that kind of love again

One would search for years.

Then it happened, I got too close

I gave the star a name,

A face, a soul, a need to be

Things will never be the same.

As time went by and seasons changed

My star began to fade,

The light that once showed me the way

The glint all but decayed.

Why is it when we find someone

Too tight we strive to hold,

The more they know we love them so

Their heart it turns so cold.

I'll never know just how or why

It all just fell apart,

The one thing that I'm certain of

A star has stole my heart.
