Beyond reach, like the far moon I love,
radiant and rare, like the sky I adore.
Forbidden as the ocean’s depth you seem,
yet warm as the ephemeral flame you give.

I’m one of many, yet every curve of smiling lips
was born from your light.
With deferred grief, I signed.

Infinite as the stars—reasons to love, to tell.
To hold you as my last hope, I craved.
Unknown yet known, like faith once lost,
an anchor that will make me weep in the grave.

The first time I’d be fool to stay,
rather than wise to walk away.
The one fate my soul will never rue—
for once, my words have undone me.
