I think the wind
Stole the stars from your eyes
Because your smile is a
Distant memory,

And now all I am is lonely.

Words can't express how much I love this one. The visualization of the wind "stealing" the stars from someone's eyes is so vivid and a smile being a "distant memory" fits in with the theme of lost star eyes. That last line, though, captures everything in one final thought and shows the situation from an emotional side. The placement of that last line also gives the person a second to take the beautifully sad images in, and then, in what I imagine a breathy sigh turned into words, wraps everything up in a sad tone still, carrying the tone all the way to the end. I swear I felt the wind that stole stars while reading this, I love it so much. Sorry for the long comment but I had to express my appreciation.
