before I knew you, I was the moon
calm, silver, glowing
soothing everything below with my soft touch
as my light eased the world into slumber
I was a beacon after everything else was dark
so even those who were lost could find their way home

after I met you, I became the sun
warm, golden, radiant
bathing everything I touched in fiery light
to ignite the landscape with change
I was constantly burning with a flaming passion
for the joys of the life that I reached below

what I soon remembered was that you were the stars
and as long as I walked in daylight, we could never be together

every day, our radiant pink and orange tears
stain the sky as we pass each other
we desperately long to be together
but never achieve our dream

forever we will chase each other
until my heart that is so full of love for my new self
is ripped apart again
and I can dissolve into stardust to join you
