My dear light up in the sky

You are the star I stare at through my window
When I lie awake in bed at night

You twinkle next to the moon
and I watch as you change colours -
captivating every watcher with every flick of every hue

A speckle in a shadowed blanket
That glitters in the darkness
You may just be a tiny dot up there to others
But to me, you equal the world

The moonlight shines next to you
But you hold my gaze
And I can never look away
Like you are the star in the night sky
And the night sky itself, altogether

I wonder how the others could sleep
Without first glancing at your magnificence
Because I couldn’t, dear, I couldn’t
The period before sunrise has never been so dark
As when there is an absence of you
So stay, please stay, don’t wander off far away

But my hands start to reach out to you
My mind hopes you would fall so I could catch you
My heart mourns for all the ways I can never get close to you
My body aches for the lack of wings so I can fly to where you are
My feet want to jump sky high but it never can
I just want you, need you
Closer, closer

Am I only meant to marvel at your beauty from afar?
Your gleams send me buoyancy and I just want to remain afloat
But my dear celestial body, you’re out of my reach
But my star, you’re leaving when the sun ascends tomorrow
Will it be selfish of me to take you away from the night
And keep you to myself?
Because I want to, need to
Gravely, gravely
