Only the stars knew...
how much I searched the night sky...
for a constellation akin to your face
knowing 'twas the only medium connecting us.

Only the stars knew...
how much I cried those nights,
knowing that you'd never be mine.

Only the stars knew...
how much I longed to hold your hand and gaze at them...
with you by my side.

Only the stars knew...
The plethora of thoughts that crossed my mind,
every time I barely managed to look into your eyes.

Only the stars knew...
that I knew..
I was just charmed...
by the face I saw..
Just the face,
not the person.
Just the face...
Just the pleasure I got
from stealing glances at it.

And finally,
Only the stars knew...
the guilt and shame,
accompanying these thoughts.
