Once upon a time, I met this star in front of the cross
one morning
while praying

the star caught my attention
I thought it didn't notice me

but every time I pass by this star
every time we're in the same vicinity
It never fails to give a glitter glance at me

and I to it

Many times it's the first one I see
when I open my eyes
after praying

It never failed to bid hello
It never failed to throw a smile
It never failed to give a stare that says it cares

One day I saw my star dancing
with a diamond star

the star he's been dancing with
light years beyond and back

I waited for his caring glance
and still caught it

the diamond star casts a glance at me as well
a glance so sharp my eyes hurt
I had to close them

I tried to close them
tried to not seek his glance for surely I'd be burned again

the diamond star enveloped our sky
our cross
our vicinity

suddenly
my star faded
