The Bright Stars in the Night Sky Know You Well

The bright stars in the night sky know you well

Not as well as I do, but they see your eyes,

The way they sparkle like the ocean’s swell

Ah, I know your smile, better than a big prize.

They don’t know your voice and your joyful laugh,

Like I do. Or the way our hands lock together

Fires burning in my heart, no longer in half.

Or how it felt, being as light as a feather.

They did not know what we had, that undying love

Like small embers in the darkness, we flew

Higher than any bird, prettier than a dove.

O, I gave everything had gained, even made, to you.

Until it all shattered, my heart following

The stars they knew who he was, but I didn't listen
